You can find these glass beads pretty much anywhere. I'm sure you've seen then. I believe I got mine at the dollar store (which is where this picture is from) I bought clear but you could buy any color you would like. I thought they would make great pushpins!
So, I started with beads similar to these only clear...
Found some free clip art Fleur de Lis online and printed them out onto some card stock...
I used a little modge podge to attach the paper fleur de lis to the glass disc.
I let them dry like this...
and then cut them out so they would look like this. Then, I just hot glued some push pins to the back and there you have it! A quick, easy, and very inexpensive push pin that will add a little something special to your message board!
If any of you are interested in using the Fleur de Lis art that I used here it is....
These are awesome. They would look great in my new office. I just posted my new black and whit office.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I was a bit skeptical of this project - shame on me! I love it! These turned out wonderful! I'm a loving follower of your blog - if you care to, my blog is:
