Depending on just what you are looking for, you might try converting some ordinary wooden clothespins into 'tackies'. you do this by pushing two thumbtacks into the fat part of the jaws of the clothespin, so that the points meet (or a very closely aligned), sticking out of the wood no more than 1/16". you want them to just dimple the skin, but not pierce it. It focusses the pressure of the clothpins down to one tiny point; I find them Very effective.

I've done a similar thing, but I filed down the points so as to minimize any chance of a puncture
