A pushpin is a small, pointed fastening tool used to attach papers or other lightweight materials to a surface, such as a bulletin board or wall. It typically has a plastic or metal head for easy handling and a sharp end that penetrates the material being fastened. Pushpins are commonly used in offices, schools, and homes for organizing notes, reminders, or decorations. They come in various colors and designs, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
