Abstract: A flag pin is provided comprising a pin, a flag at the end of the pin, a sleeve positioned around the pin, and a flexible base receiving the tip of the pin therethrough and abutting the bottom of the sleeve. A user may insert the flag pin into the sleeve so that the tip of the pin extends from the bottom of the sleeve, and move the bottom of the pin through the flexible base so that the top of the base rests against the bottom of the cylindrical sleeve. The bottom end of the pin may then extend into a base on which the pin is to be placed, with the flexible base vertically supporting the cylindrical sleeve and the pin itself, and holding the pin in a generally vertical orientation. A kit for assembling flag pins and a related method are also provided.

Abstract: A flag pin is provided comprising a straight pin with a sharpened end, a flag positioned at the opposite end of the pin, a vertical, cylindrical sleeve positioned around the pin, and a flexible base configured to receive the sharpened tip of the pin therethrough and to abut the bottom of the cylindrical sleeve. In use, a user inserts the flag pin into the cylindrical sleeve so that the sharpened tip of the pin extends out of the bottom of the sleeve, and moves the bottom of the pin into and through the flexible base so that the top of the flexible base comes to rest against the bottom of the cylindrical sleeve. In this configuration, the bottom end of the pin may then extend into a base on which the pin is to be placed, with the flexible base vertically supporting both the cylindrical sleeve and the pin itself, and holding the pin in a generally vertical orientation. A kit for assembling such flag pins and a method of its use are also provided.
