Now that I've reviewed the photos I took of our first package, I realize that I didn't attach the nail for making the holes for the pins! My apologies to our customer, and I will be sending a card with the nail tomorrow.
A snapshot of our first packaged set of Transcendental Treasures pins:

Tips for pin art installation
Here are a few tips and suggestions for making the installation of your Transcendental Treasures pins easy and beautiful:
- Though our product is made with push pins and T-pins, they are delicate, so it is best not to push directly on the aluminum to insert the pin into the wall. Each kit will include a small nail to use for making the hole in the wall for your pin to be placed in. Using the pre-made hole method should prevent damage to the pins during installation.
- Particularly with the short push pins, it is easier to remove them from the foam board and/or wall by sliding a fork underneath so that it is in contact with the pin directly rather than pulling on the aluminum piece.
- If you are using the pins to write a word, we recommend using the longer T-pin style when you need to overlap. This will give the word art piece an interesting 3D depth and avoid a cluttered (if overlapping all short push pins) or sparse (if not overlapping) look.
