I've always been looking for cute pushpins, but I've never found any that were relatively cheap. I finally decided to make some of my own using some fake flowers I had lying around. These are so easy to make, and they're great for adding some life to your home or office.
1
Remove the base and stem of the flower. Depending on how firmly this is attached, you might be able to rip it off with your fingers. However, I used a butter knife to pry it off on the more stubborn flowers.
2
The rest of this project is incredibly simple. Now pull out the center of the flower. (It should come out very easily.)
3
You should just have the petals left now. Repeat this with any other flowers you have.
4
Swap some of the petals with each other so that you have multicolored flowers. I like to swap mine out, but if you like them as they are, glue the layers of petals together.
5
Now get out your pushpins. I found this package of cute colors at Staples for only a dollar.
6
Slip a pushpin through the hole in the center of each flower. Now you're done!
7
Stick your new blooms up on your bulletin board. Now you can experiment with other types of flowers. I would absolutely love to try making these out of roses!
