How-to: DIY Cork Push Pins

Craft Basics· Home Decor

We are so happy to introduce our newest member of the Crafts Unleashed Design Team, Kelly from Live Laugh Rowe! Kelly is an incredibly talented creator of beautiful things. We are so excited for the new and fun crafts she will be bringing here to share on Crafts Unleashed! Without further ado, here’s Kelly with the cutest DIY cork push pins ever!

ABOUTFinished

Hello sweet friends! Cork seems to be trending lately…. I’ve seen cork shoes, trivets, wall art, magnets, and so many other fun cork crafts around the world wide web.  I’ve been dying to try these DIY push pins for some time and I finally made that happen.  YAY!  I’m super excited to share this fun and incredibly easy tutorial with all of you today!

DIY cork push pins - Crafts UnleashedSupplies needed to make your own DIY cork push pins:

  • Corks
  • Thumb Tacks
  • Beacon Gem-Tac Permanent Adhesive
  • Drill (optional)
  • Feathers or Dried Flowers

Ready?  Here we go.

Step 1:  Drill holes into the tops of  each of your corks (I used a 3/32 drill bit).  Side note:  You might be able to pull this off with a screw if you don’t have a drill, just be sure your hole isn’t too big or too deep.

DIY cork push pins - Crafts UnleashedStep 2:  Glue a thumb tack to one side of each cork.  Let it set for 24 hours.

DIY cork push pins - Crafts UnleashedWhat do you think?  They make me smile, and I think they added a little extra flair to the painted bulletin board in my craft room.  A lot of creative fun can happen here, wouldn’t you agree?  I think they’d be fun to share with co-workers too!  Happy crafting!

    […] I have a thing for fancy push pins. Why hang up your memos and to-do lists with plain ol' pins when you can use fancy ones instead? Over at Crafts Unleashed, Kelly used corks to make pretty pins for her cork board. (Irony?) If you've been hoarding (er, I mean saving) wine corks for crafts purposes, this would e a good way to use some of them up. Don't have any bulletin boards to stick then in, you could glue them to magnets instead of push pins! [how to make cork push pins] […]
