Make Pin

Tools needed for the Pins (above)

  • Cardboard
  • Buttons
  • All purpose glue or glue gun
  • Pin back (Bar Pins) or large safety pin
  • Scissors
  • Your imagination

Directions: We used a wooden heart shape and old pin backing for this project

  • Cut out a shape for the pin
  • Print out and use Planetpals free stencils for the shapes
  • Glue on buttons in one color or many
  • Let it dry
  • Turn it over
  • Add the pin to the back using strong glue or glue gun (little kids will need help-make sure it is closed!)
  • Done!

Notes:

Options:

  • Substitute already made wooden shapes from the craft store
  • Use a manufactured PIN BACKING from an old pin or craft store in place of the safety pin
  • Mix buttons with old beads for a different look
  • Make your own clay beads using Planetpals clay crafts recipes and add them
