Decorated CraZy TACKz for inspiration

We love to share ideas and inspirations here on the CraZyTACKz4Crafts Blog.  Today I am showing some original ideas we featured with the CraZy TACKz when they were brand new, a couple of years ago.


The projects shown are painted with Acrylic paint. The first layer of decoration are die-cut trees, cut out with the Cricut machine and applied with ModgePodge.

The birds are chipboard shapes from the craft store that are colored with memory papers.  Just trace around the bird onto the wrong side of the paper; cut out, and adhere to the bird.  I used a 1/16" paper punch to pre-punch the hole for the nail end of the CraZy TACK to go into.  Adhere the TACK "stopper" to the bird. Repeat for each.

We featured instructions for making the dimensional paper flowers on a previous post.  If you missed it, just go to: http://crazytackz4crafts.blogspot.com/2014/06/bugz-flowerz-crazy4crafts-tutorial-part.html   or go back a couple of posts on this blog. Try different colors of papers and different sizes.  The CraZy TACKz shown here are Clear and Round from the Orange pack, and colors from the Purple pack.

I found the dress form in the paper mache' area of the craft store.  It makes a fun surface and decorator piece for the CraZy TACKz and for hanging your jewelry, keys, etc.

If you have any questions regarding these designs, just leave us a message here on the blog and we will get back to you.

Hope you got inspired today. If you would like to look at the CraZy TACKz website; just go to the top of the page, next to the picture of TACKz and "click".  There you can find more project sheets to download and get a close-up look at all of our colors and shapes.
