The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Thursday, August 18, 2005Punker Pins If you don't want to tinker with your bag but still want to personalize it, a batch of these little pins to put on it will do. What you need: 1-inch wood disks, magazine pictures, white craft glue, scissors, brush-on varnish, pin back, E6000 Extra-strength adhesive. How to do it: Cut out small pictures or phrases from magazines and use the white craft glue to affix them to the disk. Trim excess. Apply a thin layer of white craft glue over the top of the picture and let dry until clear. Apply a layer of varnish. Let dry. Flip over and use extra strength adhesive to attach pin back. Let dry. Notice how the backback is decked out? HERE is how I did it! * By Kathy Cano Murillo, copyright 2005. Photos property and courtesy of Arizona Republic and AzCentral.com.

¡Ay chihuahua! These look so easy to make and so much better than buttons made with a button machine! I have to try this!
About Me
I'm a mommy, wifey, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. I love chocolate, coffee, and I collect Chihuahua stuff (we have 4 live ones). I have a new product line! I write a syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. My 7th craft book comes out next year, as well as my first novel. I make a line of Chicano Pop Art with my hubby and we have sold it all over the country since 1990. Doing my best to live in the moment and savor it all!  
Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
