| Materials:
- Double stick (2 sided) tape - Heavy duty
works best
- Two 7mm googly eyes
- Ultra fine permanent marker
- Bar pin back
- Rose colored crayon
- Two layers of flower petals *
- Tacky glue or Elmer's glue
*For my white daily pins, I used daisy flower
petals that were purchased at a party store and
were meant to be scattered on a table etc. so
they didn't have a hole in the center. My
pink daisy was made from a complete artificial
flower. I simply removed the stem and
center of the flower. I left the small
hole to represent the nose of the smiling daisy,
however, if you prefer, you can glue a very
small pompom on top of the hole to represent a
nose.
1) Using 2 sided tape, attach the bar pin to
the back of one of the sets of daisy petals.
2) On the front of the second set of petals,
draw a mouth. I also made three dots
on each cheek with the marker. Then using
the crayon give your daisy rosy cheeks.
3) Glue the flower petals with the face to
the flower petals with the pin then glue on the
eyes.
Once the glue is dry, your pin is ready to
wear.
Variation: to make a daisy
magnet, simply glue a piece of magnet onto the
back of the first daisy in place of the pin.
Hint: If you are making the Daisy
Pins with a group of children, I recommend
attaching the 2-sided tape to each pin ahead of
time. The easiest way to do this is to
make sure the pin is closed, hold it by the
actual pin, unroll the tape and stick the "bar"
section to the tape then cut the tape as close
to the pin as possible. There should be
paper on the other side of the tape which the
children will peel off when they are ready to
stick the pin on their flower.
