Pin is made from a small wooden circle sold by the bag in craft stores. A gold pin back also sold by the bag in craft stores, Wooden Button Beads, Yarn, Tempera or Acrylic paints, Hot glue or Tacky Glue.
- Paint your circle to look like the Earth with beautiful blues and greens.
- After it dries, glue on the wooden buttons - as many as you like - we chose 3.
- Give each bead "hair" from yarn or embroiderery thread (craft doll hair scraps work too!)
- Use permanent markers to draw on faces, freckles, expressions.
- Remember to make each one different; paint the beads different skin tones.
- Lastly, affix the pin to the back with hot or tacky glue.
Kids can wear this in honor of a Multi-Cultural week or to celebrate Earth Day!
