Ok so these are one of my favorite things. I wanted to display a vintage pattern, some fabric and other notions that I got from my Grandma. The shadow boxes were not on sale at Hobby Lobby and I'm cheap. So I found a cork board that was on sale. I wanted a fun way to show off the sewing items with something cute and related. Solution-Button Thumb Tacks. To make these take your favorite vintage or new button and glue it onto a thumb tack using a hot glue gun or craft glue. There are different types and colors of thunb tacks. My favorite ones are from Lowe's and have a flat top. They come in white, red and brass. You can get some with a curved top if you like. You can put anything on a thumb tack...so get creative! You 'll be able to find mine on Etsy soon. Happy crafting!
what a cute simple idea!
