DIY: Mockingjay Pin

Hi
Katniss and Prim here
you know 
those two Everdeen sisters from district 12?

well, like, EVERYONE has been asking to borrow our mockingjay pin
we know how fashionable we are 
but guys we've only got the one
but never fear because 
hope is the only thing stronger than fear y'all so
we've created a simple tutorial for you guys to make your own

find a photo of ours online
(p.s. there's lots as people love it so much)

trace around the mockingjay onto some kind of shiny gold paper

for cutting out this shape we used the end of an arrow

but if you don't happen to have one of those lying around 
(and seriously why wouldn't you)
we suggest a craft knife instead

for the two circles on the pin 
you can draw around the bottom and then the top of a cup

one circle down
one to go

boom
now you've got the perfect target-
Oi Katniss stop with all the arrow talk

then cut around the outer circle
NOT with an arrow k?

now time to add a safety pin
you can use a hot glue gun or tape
you know
whatever you fancy
no one really patrols district 12

so that looks pretty hot
ouch burnt my leg again on it

wear it with pride around your district
