Push Pin Art

Another Spring Break craft that Bella just up crafted all by herself.

There are some cute ideas out there for push pin art on a canvas.  I have seen:  heart, ampersand, LOVE, an initial, pineapple, etc.  There are several variations, of course.  You can leave the canvas white or you can paint it.  Use different color push pins.  Add a splash of color and add something else to your picture (a colorful button?).

I'm sure there is a lovely tutorial out there.  Search Push Pin art.  Check out Pinterest.  I'm sure you can spend numerous hours perusing the millions of ideas they have to offer.  Or, just use your imagination and make your own creative canvas art.

Supplies needed:
Canvas
push pins (we used silver)
paint (optional)
pencil

The pencil is to lightly draw your design on the canvas.  If you are doing something like a pineapple, you can probably print one, cut it out and trace it onto the canvas.

Next step?  Start putting in your push pins.  (yea, I'm sure there's a  more elaborate tutorial out there.  Maybe with pictures?)

Bella decided to go with a "B"



What will you make?
