Cute polymer hijab pins

I saw these on etsy yifatiii's Sweet Sewing Pin Toppers and thought they could make good hijab pins. However on discussion and thought, they are sewing pins which are generally weak and short. I thought they would be too difficult to make myself however after watching these videos I thought it would be worth having a go:





I'm not sure where I could get straight pins in NZ, maybe a bead store but there are also these:

Or I could cut the plate off these or use it as the base for things like muffins or buscuits:
