Pretty thumb tacks

Pretty thumbtacks by Torie Jayne

I was looking around for some pretty thumbtacks for my new pin board that I am in the process of designing but couldn't find anything that fitted the bill. In the end I decided to make my own using some pretty cabochons, from Etsy seller Baubles of Fun, in colours to match my craft room. So quick and easy!
