DIY Ornament Push Pins

As a self-proclaimed DIYer, a lot of my “brilliant” ideas come upwards from solving my ain problems. Baby is getting filthy during her meal? Sew a ameliorate bib! Don’t possess got whatsoever artwork for the bedroom? Design my ain canvas! Don’t possess got whatsoever force pins that stand upwards for your Christmas decor? Make some!

It may audio ridiculous to re-do my ain force pins, but the projection I had inwards heed needed approximately colourful pollex tacks, together with the ones you lot tin flame purchase at the shop precisely create NOT stand upwards for my vacation decor – yep, I’m talking to you lot bulky, brilliant together with colourful force pins! So I laid upwards to operate making approximately cherry together with gilt ornament force pins :)

Materials:

Flat Push Pins or Thumb Tacks

Sculpey (I used red, gold, together with black)

E6000 Glue

I chose a base of operations coloring cloth to begin, then, using my fingers, I shaped a small-scale sum of the base of operations coloring cloth into a ball that would fit on overstep of the force pin. . I genuinely stuck it on overstep of 1 of the tacks to mold it slightly every bit well.

[note: I didn’t create this, but I would recommend shaping the sculpey onto the tack, together with making certain the bottom surface surface area is wider than the tack because the sculpey volition shrink into itself a flake 1 time cooked]

Then you lot possess got the other colours, together with add together coloring cloth or graphic symbol to every bit many of the force pins every bit you lot like!

I added swirls yesteryear rolling a rattling sparse slice of sculpey together with placing it on overstep carefully. I too made several marble ones. For those, I pose a few random pieces of a minute coloring cloth on overstep together with massaged the clay until the colours were embedded together.

Once you lot are done all of your designs, bake the pieces according to the instructions on the bundle :)

When the come upwards out of the oven, permit them cool (doesn’t possess got long!), together with thus purpose the E6000 to mucilage them to the pollex tacks. I recommend using something to apply the glue, because it tin flame hold out VERY pasty on your hands!

Then when you lot are done, you lot volition possess got an adorable provide of ornament force pins!

Here’s a sneak peak at how I’ll hold out using these handy cracking force pins tomorrow!
