This Up Grape Soda Pin Will Make You an Official Wilderness Explorer
When you make this Up Grape Soda Pin, and give it to a fellow adventurer, that means you are in a club. This is a replica of Ellie’s Badge inspired by Disney Pixar’s UP. Wear it for fun or as part of a Russell or Carl Cosplay.
Here’s the tutorial video
DIY Up Grape Soda Pin
MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
download the pattern
bottle caps
metal punching tool
large safety pin
two jewelry making plier tools
Mod Podge
paint brush
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the top of the safety pin. Bend open the two metal flanges that hold the head on. Use pliers to pull the head of the safety pin off. Straighten out the bent portion of metal and position the pin on the bottle cap where you want to punch your holes.
Punch the first hole using a punch tool or hammer and small nail. Position the pin where you want to punch the second hole. Punch the second hole and run the pin through it. If you bend the edge of bottle cap, you can always fix it with pliers.
Add the bend back into the pin. Put the pinhead back on, and squeeze the edges closed to secure it.
Print out the pattern from craftymcfangirl.com and cut out one label. Add the grape soda label with Mod Podge or glue. Once the label is on, let the glue dry completely before continuing.
When the Mod Podge is dry it’s time to finish the pin with a coat of Mod Podge on top. Make sure to seal the edges well. When the top coat has dried, your project is done.
