10 push pin ideas to help with crafting:
Prop up items for painting. Don’t you hate to set down wet items to dry. Especially with wood, simply add a push pin at the bottom to prop it up for drying.
Make holes in card stock. This works great for making earring cards or attaching twine to tags.
Hold templates or patterns in place. Whether it is fabric or paper while you cut or trace around them. This will ensure precise shapes and designs.
Pinhole art. Poke hokes in construction paper and then hold it up to the light or layer on a contrasting sheet.
Create DIY string art. Use wood or cork board by outlining a shape with push pins and then wrapping string or yarn around them in various patterns.
Create a dotting tool for painting or dot art projects. Dip the pin head in paint or use the larger side for bigger dots
Secure lightweight crafting materials. Things like foil, tissue paper, or thin plastic to a work surface to keep them in place while painting, cutting, or applying adhesives.
