DIY Cactus Decorative Push Pins
Create fun and unique push pins that you can use anywhere just using hot glue!
Protect your work surface by placing a non-stick hot glue mat down on it
Add green hot glue sticks to your glue gun and let them heat up. Then squeeze so that melted green glue starts to come out. Create cactus shapes onto your mat with the hot glue.
Allow the glue to cool then peel your cacti off of the mat. Add some polka dots with some white craft paint to complete the look. Use a little more hot glue to attach each cactus to the thumbtack. Allow all of your pins to dry completely before using them.
Pro Tip: If you don’t feel comfortable with freehanding or want to freehand them, just print some images from your computer and lay it under the mat as a guide (kind of like tracing).
NOTE: A silicone baking mat will work as well but be sure not to use it for food after using it for crafting.
