Sugru Decorative Thumb Tack

I find the thumb tacks can be painful on your thumbs when pushing them into a wall or other object. So why not make the thumb tack head larger so more area is distributed across your thumb reducing the pain.

This is where you can get creative. I mixed two Sugru colors together – in this example it was red and yellow.  Roll the Sugru into a ball

Press the thumb tack head into the ball until it pillows around the head and  Wha-la – new and improved thumb tack.

Or make a decorative thumb take head, like a flower.  Start off with the first 4 steps and then add pedals. This one I just made 7 ‘snakes’ or ‘rolls’ of Sugru and attached them to the Sugru on the head
