Pretty push pins

I whipped up these pretty push pins the other night. They are so fun to make and you only need the tiniest scraps of fabrics. As you can see I had fun fussy cutting pretty little flowers. It probably took about 20 minutes to make 10 push pins or drawing pins as we call them here. All you need are flat push pins/ drawing pins/thumb tacks, clear resin pebbles and some good glue.

Your can find the tutorial here or over in my side bar under 'My favourite tutorials'. They really are easy and in the same tutorial it shows you how to make these fridge magnets.

And as you can see I had fun photographing them as well!

Cute fridge magnets

Managed to squeeze in some creativity today between housework, kids and cycling. Well actually the cycling didn't happen. I got all changed into my cycling clothes, got my bike out and HELLO not one but TWO flat tyres. Never mind, got to be creative instead. Have been wanting to make these little fridge magnets for a while now but couldn't find the clear resin pebbles until the other day when my daughter spotted them in a $2 store. Thank you Caitlin! They don't take long to make and take only a snippet of fabric plus they are a great activity to do with the kids. You can find the tutorial here. I'm going to make the push-pins next.
