Lets Craft! I know it's been a while since I published free instructions for an easy and inexpensive craft project but the wait is over! You can create enough for a group of pins for under $2.00! This is an original design and you won't find it anywhere but here!
You will need:
Pack of sparkle chenille stems (you need one stem for each pin)
Tacky craft glue
1 inch pin back
Googly eyes (one set for each pin.)
1. To make a pin fold a chenille stem in half. At the top, using your fingers form a small circle. (If you are trying to make Frankenstein, flatten the top a bit for a squarish effect)
2. Measure down two inches on one side and bend stem upwards. (see photo) Repeat on the other side. Cross right stem over body area and come up with the end at the neck. Bend into place. Bring other side around back and cross around neck to front and twist in place. Adjust hands to any pose desired.
3. Glue two google eyes right at the area where the head meets the neck and let dry.
4. Glue a one inch pin back onto back of pin and let dry.
