That's a sizeable Good Omens pin/cover minder! 3 tips that I've learnt from converting my own minders from pins. 1/ aim to get the magnet as centered as possible (i.e. sand down all the metal lumps and bumps as flat as possible!) because gravity will spin it upside down if you're off even by a bit. You'll feel it more if you cross stitch or diamond paint on a tilted surface rather than flat on the table. 2/ dampen a paper towel, fold it in half, and sandwich your pin in-between when cutting the sharp part, it'll save you a LOT of time in trying to find all the flying sharp pieces when you clean up. 3/ I got the smoothest backing by leaving the sandpaper on the table and holding/moving the minder back and forth while using get different grit paper and progressively grind it down. You don't need much, but I used a course, medium, then a fine grit. This last tip is more of an "extra" but I wanted a smooth finish, so I went the extra mile.

Oh my gosh, these suggestions are so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!

@crafting-with-care Год назад

@@DiamondsandWashi my pleasure! I don't use pins as pins and had a bunch lying around but I craft a lot, so I gave making minders a try :) did some trial and error and if it helps someone else, why not :)

I inherited a handful of cat pins and earrings from a friend who has passed away.... now I know what to do with them. Thank you Katie!❤

@dotydiva Год назад

I've done these with old earrings, old pins, buttons and I love this idea. They give me so much pleasure using something I use to wear. I took a small clam shell from our beach and added a magnet to it and use it for my trash cover minder.. I love it.. I hold a thin rag over the cutters to catch those flying objects. I never use clips to hold the magnet down. Just remember don't keep the one's your doing close by or you'll have them attaching themselves and that's a mess without the E6000 dry. Love the pen choices.. So cool.

@Lovemenot Год назад

I used to collect pins so now being able to use them for a project is amazing thank you 😊

@KrohnosOW 7 месяцев назад

Now I gotta have a cover minder crafting day!

Love your videos!!! I love cover minders they are just great companions lol!

@LisaNewf Год назад

Great idea with the pins Katie. I also use cookie tins to store my minders. Thanks so much for this tutorial. ❤️

@lynneclark7902 Год назад

Great idea!

@alicejohnson3025 Год назад

I’ve bought decorative buttons to turn into cover minders! Thanks for the video!

@CharmedandCrafty Год назад

I've done this. I have also turned keychains into minders

@quinellleftwich1781 Год назад

Thanks for this. I have all these tools because I also build 12th scale dollhouses. I wasn't sure if taking the backs off of pins would work or not but I've seen some in Hobby Lobby on clearance that I would love to convert. I also wasn't sure which glue to use that I have on hand and you cleared that up as well. Guess I will be making me some cover minders or needle minders since I also cross stitch!!!

Thanks for keeping me company during my morning routine. I only have 2.5 squares left of Space for Reflection by Chuck Pinson. I really went pedal to the metal on it this weekend. Hopefully I'll finish it for the end of Drills and Chills just in time. 💙💙💙

@gemmahardy1871 Год назад

I loved your pins, thanks for sharing I might even manage it myself rather than giving it to my other half. Yay!

@EveGM2787 Год назад

OMG!!! Love the Good Omens pin!

@karentaylor83 Год назад

Thanks for showing how to get the pin backs off. I have a bunch that would be great minders. 👍 ♥️

@Sharilyn75 Год назад

Great DIY video! I have wondered about converting some of my pins!

@keenearthangel Год назад

I enjoy seeing your videos. I always learn something new from you. Thank you for posting this video.

@tracygoodenough7198 Год назад

great video 😊

@DianesDiamondPaintingJourney Год назад

Thanks so much for that tutorial and and I always wondered how to do this and now I might even do some of my own.

@tammyglasenappsimon4941 Год назад

This was great. I will also like many try this. This will be on my to do list. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see one or two being used on a DP. 😊

@jenniferelyse74 Год назад

Great video! 💕 Coincidence: I am planning to try my hand at making cover minders this weekend and ordered those same magnets. I will be hand painting some small wooden discs and sealing with resin before adding the magnets.

@stephanirozier7802 Год назад

Thank you for this video! I have a few pins that were gifts but unfortunately I don't wear pins. I'm definitely going to try this. I totally would have tried putting that magnet on the spot where the pin was. 😂😂

@mirandab4262 Год назад

I have a small pile of pins I've amassed from various Loot Crates (not sure if anybody knows of/recalls those). I'm definitely gonna convert most of those to cover minders like this, so I can have my geeky fandoms with me while I diamond paint 😍

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

Ooh, I do remember Loot Crate! So fun!

@spottedtime Год назад

As a tip when using glues, like super glue, you might want to use a paper towel and wipe the area the cap goes, to get any glue that got into that area. Because I have used super glue for a project and had to get another glue because the first one had the cap glued on.

How cute are your nails 💅 😍 🦇

@noctoi Год назад

OMG was that a GOOD OMENS PIN?!?!?! I so want that!! 👼😈🥰

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

Yes!! Love it!

@sophiegamy8181 Год назад

Hello Katie Thank you so much for this video, I was thinking about converting pins to cover minders and this shows this is totally feasible I’m not sure I get how you store your cover minders Thanks

@rosered_crafts Год назад

Thank you for this video! I started to make my own minder awhile back but I was drawing a blank after clipping off the pin bc the base was still attached... It never occurred to me to place the magnet next to the bump 😅

@emilyhansen3583 Год назад

I love that TARDIS pin! So cute! And the angels were from Good Omens, right? I haven’t watched it yet but Michael Sheen and David Tennant?! What could be bad about that?!

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

Yes!! I really loved the show, and definitely highly recommend it especially if you love those actors. They’re amazing!

@sheilabush3784 6 месяцев назад

Does it matter what side of the magnet is facing up or down?

@lynneclark7902 Год назад

I picked up some pins recently, and planned to do this. Have you tried the kind of pin with a piece of metal on either side, with a thin pin that latches on? I am wondering if they can be snapped off as well.

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

I haven't tried that yet, but it's on my radar to try! I'm curious about that too!

@helenwhale2603 Год назад

Would Gorilla 🦍 Glue help for magnets be ok for cover minders I got it because I might lose some of my new Diamond Art Clubs magnets the glue have come unstuck I also got some Magnets in case they fell of

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

I think that would probably work! I haven't tried it myself but you could try it on one and see how it goes?

@helenwhale2603 Год назад

Thanks

@beverlytipton9037 Год назад

May I please ask what you (or "what she" if someone in the comments can answer?) meant by "minders"???

@MiasLifeWithKFS Год назад

Did you not link to the tins you talked about? Or am I blind?

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

Nope! I just forgot - sorry about that! It’s in the description now, but here’s the link for convenience too: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08KVPJQH2

@@DiamondsandWashi Thank you ❤️

@KayKayLette Год назад

Idk of this is weird or smart i have a huge Rock collection so i just use a couple of smaller stones to hold down the cover lol

@mech0p Год назад

buy a dremel. Its a little tool that will save you a ton of time for 10-20 bucks and make your magnets sit more level and have a better base to be glued on.
