glass bead push pins

AND
Do you want to make some of these cute push pins?? Below is a picture of what you need, plus a pack of pins from Target. All the images were printed out from my computer, just copy, paste, and shrink. I had to print a few before I could get the right size, then it hit me, put a glass bead up against the monitor screen to see if the image fits! This should save you some paper and ink. Of course you can always use scrap paper, oh the possibilities!

I used blk card stock to give the back a finished look. Just trace a penny, cut , & paste.

This is what started this idea, the mini lamp shade I was decorating for my daughter's room (before she changed her theme & colors). I was covering the shade with pins I purchased at Target for under $2, as you can see, it would of taken more than one pkg to finish the project.


I noticed how easy the plastic tops would come off, so the peeling began and the idea was born.
Here is a closer look of the bare pin, the back of the bead with a glue dot, and the finished push pin.

Ta Da!! Easy peasy right?



This is my daughter's art from kinder, I am the purple fish (because purple was my fav color then, now it's fuchsia!), and dad is the blue one. Don't we look cute?


Thank you for stopping bye today! And of course I would love to hear what you think, so drop a line or 2.(wink)

XOXO

P.S. I think I might be addicted to glass beads.
