Forest is making me a new inspiration board for my office so I wanted some pretty fabric covered tacks to adorn it. They are so easy & the full instructions can be found here. I used a favorite fabric (rose/fresh poppies from the Midwest Modern collection) by Amy Butler. It was fun to use a larger print & see what kind of new designs came from using just a small piece. I'm pretty much addicted to making these - such a good project to do while chatting with friends or watching TV.And speaking of inspiration, how much do I love this spread in the Feb. '09 Bazaar? Swoon.

...And my scanner just kicked the bucket so I will have to tease you with just the first page - dang, after seven years it decides to die now. But it's so girly, so me. I like having a break, but this makes me look forward to wedding season. If I get my scanner working I'll post the rest or take a peek next time you're at the grocery store. Feel-good pieces is right.

Ooooh, I'm such a big fan of those little details! Great idea for a custom look! :) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting the link for this project! So pretty!
I've seen so many, many versions of these fabric tacks for sale, and always wondered how I might use my scrap fabrics to fashion my own. Thanks so much for sharing!
Just found your blog. So very fun!
