Approximate Time: About 1 hour
Supplies:
domino
canceled postage stamps
tiny button
gold embroidery thread
acrylic sealer (or Mod Podge)
pin back
craft glue
scissors
small paint brush
gold acrylic paint
Instructions:
Place stamps on domino, overlapping them some, until you are pleased with the placement. Carefully lift each one and glue in place.
Cut several pieces of gold thread about 1 1/2 inches long, and glue in place around one end of the domino. Glue a tiny button on top of the threads near the corner of the domino.
Paint outer edges of domino gold.
Using a small paint brush, apply a coat of acrylic sealer to top of domino and allow to dry. You can apply additional coats, if desired, but allow time to dry between each coat.
When completely dry, turn domino over and glue on a pin back.
