TheTwins Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 As pin traders, most of us are bound to have acquired some scrapper pins and wondered what to do with them, or just loved a pin design so much that we wanted to do something crafty with the idea! So, feel free to share anything you've made with pins or inspired by Disney pins! I'll kickoff with a set of Christmas ornaments I made for a cat-loving pin friend. She mainly collects Figaro, but likes cats in general. Well, this set of DSSH LE pins was so amazing and had the cutest art, but they are really "Grail" pins. So, I got nice pictures of each one, and made ornaments, complete with the "pin-on-pin" layer with the bow applied on top of the ornament. Personally, Dinah wins, and is one of my all-time favorite pieces of Disney pin art! These are 2 3/4" wooden ornaments that are each a metallic colour and then the pin art is on the top, and all coated to high gloss. Make sure and scroll to the bottom to see the cutest Dinah! Here is the set of 10 : 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pin art. The bows presented a bit of a problem, since they do not fit in the base circle. They start as wooden ornaments. I painted them (back, rim, front rim) and then painted the hanger section on top. The pin art was sized in Photoshop and Sis cut out each bow, since the bow had to be separate. They were all printed on photopaper and then cut out all around the detail (making sure to pencil the name of the cat on the back of the bow!). Then I used a particular varnish to cover the front of the ornament and place the picture on it. After that tacks down, I use another varnish and start coating over the whole thing. Fronts first, then backs, then the side rim. With the drying time and how many coats . . . this took a solid week (the back bathroom counter became a varnish factory! ). For the bows, we cut them out and then I glued them to chip board. Once dry, I used a blade and cut out the chip board bow. After I was done with the ornament varnish, I glued the chipboard bow over top of the partial bow visible on the ornament image. Once those were totally dry, I varnished over the bow, too. There's the basic of how it was done! I made a Tinkerbell sign with a scrapper pin, and I am just having trouble finding the picture, or I'd have posted it by now! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwins Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 I made a sign for a Tinkerbell fan, and I used a scrapper pin we'd gotten as ornament on the sign. I thought it was a cool use of a fun pin that turned out to be a scrapper. So far, I can only find this small picture that was shared by the recipient I think scrappers are a cool thing to use for crafts! 🙂 If I can find a good picture, I'll share it, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwins Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 Another fun use of a scrapper was this . . . I traded with someone on PinPics, and they were new and just starting to collect desert pins. So, I painted up a small 10x10 inch cork board with the Goofy's Candy Co. logo, and I used a scrapper Goofy pin for the center of the logo: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwins Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 A PinPics member @krand1276 makes AMAZING hair bows using scrapper pins, and I hope she will stop by and post a picture one time! They are just so pretty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
