Stick Pin Holders


For our swap I have created or started to create some stick pin holders and what a better way then to make an altered project than using some of your stash up- so that is what I did- Prima when they  used  IOD  in  2006 and  the paper collection Tea and Silk Collection Making these four  holders and  flowers that  collection is  now all used up ! 





The ones above are the  larger holders that will  hold 6 stick pins(some of us did sign up for more than one group) and the ones below are simply a matchbox template  ...
