Tips & Techniques Tuesday - December 26, 2017 - Blender Pens and Plastics

So would you like to turn these cheap ugly push pins

into something that looks like theses

I had been looking for push pins for my new Brushos and found the clear ones for a really good deal so instead of the colorful fancy ones I was really good and went with the cheap ones.
 Got home and they looked so dull pushed into those Brushos  so I tried or Stampin' Write Markers but they just beaded up and came off.  Next I tried the Stampin' Blends, and they were amazing. Check out this video.



Don't you love them and so easy to make and save money.  I use to buy the girls special colors for the main bulletin board now I will make the cheap ones.
All you need is push pins and Stampin' Blends.
