I’m pretty obsessed with incorporating metallics into every space in the house and I found a really frugal way to do it. I’ve rounded up a great group of projects that can all be done with thumbtacks from the dollar store. Inexpensive decor projects make me so happy!

    I totally would have thought that the thumbtack table was done with upholstery nails! I love the idea of doing with thumbtacks, it’s so much cheaper!

    That’s a lot of thumbtack ideas!! Thumbtacks are so inexpensive and such a great way to give something a new look. That Ampersand Art is still one of my favorites.
