Pins for Every Type of Valentine

The plan was to create an organization project. But I don't feel much like organizing.

I'd rather get romantic-like and look ahead to Valentine's Day.

So I came up with a slew of simply made pins for every Valentine.


I've used a variety of Punchelements from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts for the bases. (Only the round are currently listed on the site.) Not too long ago I scored a 1" round punch at the craft store so making these was super simple.

Paint the base, add sparkle, add image/sentiment, embellish and finish off with a pin back!


I've made them to suit just about every Valentine. There's pink and sparkly for the romantic.


And something glittery and red for the saucy types. There's a "Go Away" pin for those who would rather be left alone.


"I am crazy" for my buddy who says this is the reason she is single.


A number of the pins have images of Cupid and Psyche, a theme I think I might like to further explore some time.


A few of the pins are a little crass... but I like the way glitter and the indelicate work together.



Do you want to make your own? You can download a sheet of the saucy and silly, nice and naughty sentiments below. (Note: You may have to click for the full sized image.)
