Can anyone point me to a source for the pins that you use to make wrap around pugaree bands?

I asked the same question last year, and Art Fawcett was kind enough to reply:

Try Star Binding
2470 Locust St.
St.Louis. Mo 63103
314-652-2700
I had them make some for me last year out of my fabric but they had a tough time. I used only vintage fabric ( rayon) and their machines didn't do well with stretchy material. They might be able to provide some individual hooks for you. What should have cost me about $5 per ended up at $15 per becuase of lost fabric. uggg I'm looking for a new company.)​

... left a message and never heard back - so unsure if these folks would be a source.

I've been unsuccessful in my search for a supplier - I finally ended up taking apart an older, ugly pug [yes, I know - bad pun], and making my own out of some scrap wire and a bit of work with needle-nose pliers. If anybody else has a source, I would be quite happy to hear of one. I've done quite a number of reasonably wild pugarees out of hawaiian/batik fabric.
