Try It Tuesday~use what you have!

Hi everyone~
I wanted to show you a little gift I made using cool stuff I had on hand.  I used vintage office machine key board buttons to make some very unique stick pins for a bulletin board.  Very easy and quick project~
I did clip ( wire cutters) the back of the key board buttons, so they were flat.
 
 
This picture shows the layers I used for the front and how it is glued to the back of a regular tack.
I used hot glue.  The button is by Jenni Bowlin Studio.
 
 
I used the packaging from this (red tape) to make a gift container for the tacks.  I used the Christmas 2012 by Jenni Bowlin.  Tied twine around it added a gift tag.  I put my name on this one.:):):)
