If only I had had some on hand...they would have been perfecto and certainly saved me some time. And I bet your pearly thumbtacks were just the cutest. Thanks for saying hi!

If you want to save a step, they actually sell the thumbtack backs in the jewelry section of most craft stores. They usually come in sets paired with a backer (for lapel pins or something?)but they have a large, round, flat top perfect for gluing things onto and a very pointy, sharp end! I glued pearl beads onto these pins to use as custom thumbtacks for a memory board at my wedding last winter. Great project!

I've got a tone of spare buttons left over from clothes I don't wear anymore, and this would be a good way to use them. This is such a cute idea!

Might have to take something like this on once I've made the old boarded-up window (yeah, don't ask... you'll understand once you've seen <i>[hint hint]</i> the house) in our office into my own corkboard. Was just asking my dad earlier this week for some instructions. Seems like it's a project on the brain for a lot of us! Super cute – love the corkboard and the thumbtacks.
