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.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Colorful Push Pins
  • Fake Flowers (Daisies Work Best)
  • Glue

Steps (7 steps, 3 minutes)

  1. 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. 2

    The rest of this project is incredibly simple. Now pull out the center of the flower. (It should come out very easily.)

  3. 3

    You should just have the petals left now. Repeat this with any other flowers you have.

  4. 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. 5

    Now get out your pushpins. I found this package of cute colors at Staples for only a dollar.

  6. 6

    Slip a pushpin through the hole in the center of each flower. Now you're done!

  7. 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!
