Make Silk Flower Bulletin Board Pins
by rhonda
I'm always on the lookout for things that fall into the categories of bright or funky when I visit the dollar store. Recently, a bouquet of bright pink and yellow silk flowers caught my attention. Having just redecorated the bulletin board in my entrance hallway, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them: turn them into fun push pins!
This project is perfect for dorm room decor or bulletin boards in kids rooms. It is also a great way to add a little cheer to your office or cubicle.
Project Estimate:
- Silk flowers, $1
- Push pins, on hand or $1
- Glue, on hand
Total: $1 and up
Remove the heads of the flowers from the stems.
Pull off all of the plastic parts of the flower and separate all layers of petals, being careful to lay them out in order.
Apply a dab of glue to the back side of a push pin. Starting with the top layer of petals, slide the push pin through the center of the flower. Add another dab of glue and add another layer of petals; continue until all of the layers are glued into place. You may need to hold the petals in place on the back of the pin until the glue dries.
Voila! Press them into a bulletin board and enjoy!

Beautiful and brilliant! This is definitely going on my to-do list. :)

So pretty! So easy! Love these, too cool.
Hello, this is a awesome tutorial and a cheap idea! Do you mind if I ‘feature’ you on my blog on Sep 1st 2010, I will use the original picture and link back to your blog! Thanks!
A few months ago I bought a lei from the party section of the dollar store and took it apart for a decor project in my daughter’s room. I still have several flowers left – my daughter needs some push-pins for her bulletin board. Now I can destash, and make her something she needs that will match her decor! Thanks for the idea!
Wonderful idea and also if the tack should fall it is easy to find. I thank you and my feet thank you.

The Beads Embroiderey Evening Bag is pretty sweet and my favorite one! I love the colors, and it’s really well done. I’ve attempted this stuff before but I screwed up constantly. I dunno if I would dare put my pokewalker in it though… or even walk around with it. I would be afraid it would snag onto something and break. Is the string fragile? And how much time do these take to make?
