A Little Bank Holiday Project . . .
By Unknown 4:55 pm Craft, Craft room, Crafty stuff . . ., Projects . . .I never realised quite how much I had, I am a self confessed hoarder of all things glittery and any pretty paper that could potentially be used on a card or for scrapbooking. In a bid to use up some of my supplies (in no way procrastinating at all!) I decided to make some glittery push pins for my inspiration board.
How to Make Your Own Sparkly Push Pins . . .
To make these tacks you'll need . . .
* Wooden stars* Glitter
* Thumb tacks
* PVA glue
* Hairspray
* Paintbrush
Step one - cover the wooden stars in a layer of PVA using a paint brush.
Step two - sprinkle the glitter on top of the star and leave for a few moments, and then tap of the excess. Leave to dry.
Step three - Once dry spray with a thin mist of hairspray and leave to dry for five minutes.
Step four - place a generous blob of glue from the glue gun onto the head of the push pin and apply to the back of the star. Hold in place for a few seconds and leave to dry. Your push pin is then ready to use!
Buttons, buttons and more buttons!!!
I also made some push pins using some pastel buttons. They're made in a similar way to the star ones above but without having to apply the glitter. All you need to do is follow step four.
