SAF 2015 Pins + Needles Challenge...

Welcome to Papertrey Ink's SAF 2015 Pins + Needles challenge!  I've put together a tutorial which you can view HERE, and it's got a few ideas in it of how to use your trinket or stick pins.

The cards and projects I've used to show different ways of using these fun items are shown for you here.  In my first card, I've used the trinket pins, with the decorative ends downward, one with a Tinier Tag hanging from it.  These little pins, are such inexpensive embellishments and come in a wide variety of styles.  I love using them on my projects just to add a special touch.

In this card, I've attached my sentiment using a trinket pin.  I simple stamped my Tinier Tag with my sentiment and then threaded it on a trinket pin, and stuck it right through the knotted ribbon.

I made sure that the pointy end of the pin was hidden behind another layer in order to avoid anyone getting stuck :).

This is just a quick little tag, showing stacked, die-cut felt flowers threaded onto a trinket pin, and then attached to a Tremendous Tag and Enclosed:  Leaf.  

 

So, think about how you can customize your trinket pins to coordinate with your projects and add lots of character.  

I can't wait to see what you come up with....happy crafting and thanks for joining in!

Beautiful projects, Melis! I love the one in the last photo in particular--is that a pincushion? Love the owl scissors also!
