I went to Micheal's last night and as I was browsing the isles I found these giant white close pins. I have seen lots of ladies alter them and use them as picture holders. I always thought it was a thrifty idea so I bought them at $1.50. I thought they were a great bargain and since I have tons of yummy paper I just had to get them. There were only two left. I plan to go back since I think they make a cute gift idea. I found this cute paisley paper in black/white and brown/blue that I thought would be the perfect touch for the pins. I used ModgePodge to adhere the paper and also to glaze. After a few coats I sanded it down so it would be nice and smooth. When I finished I was stuck on what to embellish them with. I am out of Prima flowers *eeekk* so I resorted to cutting out these cute flowers from the SAB "Delight in Life" set. I used dimensional glue dots to adhere them and then added stickles to their middles for the added bling. Now I just need to find the right pictures to use.
