The nautical bridal shower that I'm planning with my friends is going to have a navy and pink color scheme. I was eager to come up with some decorations for the party. I headed to my craft stash, and pulled out some thumbtacks and a 12 by 12 canvas. The thumbtacks are from the Dollar Tree, which is the best place to buy them cost wise in my opinion. I used one box of tacks for this project.
I arranged the thumbtacks in an anchor shape. Then I used some blue and pink paint to create some stripes along the sides to match the shower color scheme by taping it out with Frog Tape. I just eyeballed the measurements of the stripes as I went.
I'm excited to make a few more projects for this shower. It's going to be so beautiful because the friends that are working on it always are so creative. Thanks for checking this project idea out.
Adorable!! Love that! Such a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I think an initial done like this would be fun! Hmmmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteWOW. You are really outdoing yourself with creative ideas for this shower. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do a thumbtack canvas project. Do the thumbtacks stay in okay or do I need to bust out my earring backs? ;)
ReplyDeleteThey have stayed in great so far. :)
DeleteI love it! I want to try thumbtack art now!
