DIY Gift: Animal Push Pins

9.12.12




Another Sunday DIY as promised. I got the Instagram equivalent of a dubious look when I posted a preview of these yesterday, but they honestly look so cute on a pin board and I think I might even prefer them to the pricey Anthropologie version that I was trying to emulate. Although I still want to find a rabbit and walrus to join the collection.

I cut the figures in half using a bread knife but whatever you use please be careful and make sure the blade isn't too flimsy (I don't think a craft knife will cut it here).  If you do give it a go I would love to see a photo via instagram or twitter, it was great to see your renditions of my vanilla chai scrub!
