Make a Patriotic Pin
Stars & Tassels Pin
Supplies:
Bar Pin
(3) 1" acrylic jewel Stars, one each of Red, Clear & Blue
(3) Small Tassels, one each in Red, White & Blue
Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
Apply a small dollop of hot glue to the left side of the bar pin and quickly press RED star on top. Place the BLUE star on the right using the same technique. Then add the WHITE star in the middle. It will "float" over the top of the side stars, so be sure to use enough hot glue. To reinforce the pin, add a thin line of hot glue to the back of the stars, just above the top of the bar pin. To add the tassels, place a small dollop of glue on the bottom, backside of the RED star and press the RED tassel into place. Repeat for corresponding colors.

Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
Apply a small dollop of hot glue to the left side of the bar pin and quickly press a large star on top. Place the next large star on the right using the same technique. Then add the final large star in the middle. It will "float" over the top of the side stars, so be sure to use enough hot glue. Reinforce the pin by adding a thin line of hot glue to the back of the stars, just above the top of the bar pin. Following example in picture, attach the small stars with a small dollop of hot glue.

Make three more for a total of four. Take large safety pin and using pliers or other tool, spread coiled end of pin apart far enough to slide/wind the coiled ends of the small pins around to the topside of the large pin. Put them on in this order: four RED/WHITE pins followed by the four RED/WHITE/BLUE. Use pliers to squeeze the coiled end of the large safety pin back together.
