Those Thumbtacks are to boring for my DIY corkboard. So I wanted to Spruce them up a bit. And remember, you don't have to use buttons and a binder clip like I do, use whatever you want to serve as your pushpin on your corkboard :)

Those Thumbtacks are to boring for my DIY corkboard. So I wanted to Spruce them up a bit. And remember, you don't have to use buttons and a binder clip like I do, use whatever you want to serve as your pushpin on your corkboard :)

Instructions

  1. Small dsc00016

    First you need the things that you want to glue on your plain flat head pushpins.

  2. Small dsc00018

    Cut the shank (the loop thingy) off with a pair of scissors or wire cutters. Here I use scissors because the button was made of plastic.

  3. Small dsc00020

    Then glue you thumbtack onto the button with hot glue. Make sure to enclose the pushpin with glue so it cannot come lose.

  4. Small dsc00021  2

    For the binder clip. Take your clip, your pushpin and your glue. And what do you get when you fuse all of that together?

  5. Small dsc00022

    A new multifuncional pushpin!! Hope you try this out, it's so simple and it really makes you corkboard look nicer :P
