Bird Brain Designs is where I ordered them. It is a little expensive stuff, but does the trick for the needles.

I was looking at you ball man pin cushion (again) & just adore him. I was wondering if pins will actually go thru a soft ball & if not can a racket ball be substituted. I LOVE him and want to make one for a few friends for Christmas if I may borrow your idea.

Another version of "When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade."

Maybe I should make a few as we always find small balls in our backyard and can't find out where they come from.
