# Bengaluru designer sells safety-pin charms through Instagram 2026-08-06T21:45:40+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bengaluru graphic designer Saranya Prasad has sold nearly 300 handmade safety-pin charms through Instagram after turning a Pinterest discovery into a side business. The 28-year-old began experimenting last December and now creates her own patterns using Photoshop or hand-drawn designs. Each charm uses 12 to 16 medium-sized safety pins and about 130 to 140 seed beads. Designs include letters, zodiac signs, film and cartoon characters, and FIFA World Cup jerseys. The Spider-Man charm is her best seller. Making one takes 15 to 45 minutes. Prasad is also planning DIY kits for customers. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: Bengaluru, handmade crafts, Instagram, small business Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-designer-sells-safety-pin-charms-through-instagram/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
