Whip up a few pins to wear to work and maybe a few for your co-workers just to say "thanks". Each pin costs between a few cents to fifty cents depending on the type of pin back you use.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Felt Pin

Step1
Trace cookie cutter shape onto felt.
Step2
Fold the felt and cut two pieces. This will give you a front and back to your pin.
Step3
Whipstitch two pieces together leaving a small opening at the bottom to fill with batting.
Step4
Tear tiny pieces of batting and stuff into pin shape. Use a pencil, if needed, to fill.
Step5
Whipstitch opening closed.
Step6
Decorate design with beads, wiggly eyes, paint and sequins or cut designs from felt.
Step7
Use hot glue or quick-drying glue to affix.
Step8
Glue pin to back of design.

Photo Pin

Step1
Make a copy of your favorite photograph.
Step2
Cut a piece of clear contact paper 1/2 inch larger than your picture.
Step3
Cover both sides of photo with clear contact paper.
Step4
Place a cookie cutter on picture.
Step5
Trace around cookie cutter.
Step6
Cut out shape. For a firmer photo pin, cut a piece of felt the same shape and glue to back.
Step7
Glue trim around outside edge.
Step8
Glue pin on back of photo.

Tips & Warnings

  • For a turkey photo pin, make the body your picture and glue felt tail feathers on the back.
  • For a Christmas tree photo pin, glue a string of sequins around the edge. For a Santa pin, glue bits of cotton around the edge and red beads around the top for a hat. Let your imagination run wild.
