After making a Frosty the Snowman Pin for my About.com Jewelry Making site using some adorable (and cheap…25 cents each!) painted wood pieces I found at Michael’s, I decided to make up a number of Christmas pins using a similar approach to my Frosty pin. I wanted to whip them up all at the same time, so I made them assembly line style, spreading out the pieces (gingerbread men, snowmen, Frosty, and Christmas trees), covering them with a coat of Mod Podge, then dabbing on some opal glitter glue here and there after that dried, and then finally, adding pin backs to almost all of them.

I plan on bringing these to school tomorrow as some “zero calorie goodies.”

I have a number of similar project instructions listed here.
