I Created A Holder For My Pins

Hi Ladies,

Okay, I think that this is a brand new idea that I came up with.  But, you know I wonder around the blogs all day, so if you have seen this somewhere else, please tell me.  I created a holder for my pins.  I am the type of person that has to see things to remember to use them.

Here is what you will need to make this:

A block of Dry Floral Foam (you will see why I chose this size later)
A piece of cardboard (for bottom)
2 strips of paper cut about 2 inches longer than the (long) sides
2 strips of paper cut the same size as the ends (short sides)
Some good glue
Words (if you like) I use "My Pins" Cut with Cricut Cursive 101

1.  Glue the piece of cardboard to the bottom of the foam.

Use your score pal or other scorer to make the ends of your long sides nice and crisp so they will fold around the edges of the foam.

(Sorry these pictures have shadows can you tell I took them at night?)

3.  Glue your long strips to the foam.

4.  Glue you short strips to the foam

5.  Add you wording.

6.  Add some embellishments if you like.

I just poked a hole with my cricut tool and pushed these brads through the hole.

Now you see why I made it the length that I did, I already had a place picked out for it!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I don't mind at all (I would be flattered) if you use this tutorial or even improve on it.  But if you post it on your blog, please say that you got the idea from me and post a link back to my blog.  Thanks!

Hugs,

Chriss
