February Altered Project Swap - Hosted By Elia

Elia has proposed a Decorative Stick Pin Swap!

Here are the details and a few random photos I found in Etsy. One of the photos is from our very own Jennifer Priest. She is dominating the decorative pins section on Etsy. They are all beautiful!




So here we go:

Theme Stick Pins.

Each person will make (2) stick pins for each person in the swap.
Stick pins should be mailed by February 1st.

Here is a nice you tube video for those of you who have never made them.. They are super easy make.

Thanks Elia
