DIY: Simple Stunning Pin


OR

YOU CAN MAKE THIS ^^^

Here is what you need, hot glue gun (with glue), piece of leather or felt, pin, buttons, feathers, OH and scissors, a marker and something circular to trace.

Start by tracing a circle, or drawing one on the leather/felt.

Cut out your circle.

Fold circle in half and make small cut through the center.

Make sure the hole goes all the way through, you may have to poke back through it carefully with your scissors.

Insert feathers into the hole to the point that you want.

Turn over to apply the hot glue.

Glue underneath the feathers to secure them to the backside- also make sure if you marked on your material to make that side the backside.

After gluing your feathers should lay flat like seen above. Cut off any excess feather that may pop out around the edges from the back.

Arrange buttons how you would like them and glue them to each other and then to the leather/felt.

Next add the pin to the back; if you would like to make it look even cleaner, cut a piece of felt that is the same size (or leather) and glue it to the back to cover the feather edges and then glue on the pin.
