Atom Model Pins

     In anticipation of UMaine Marches for Science, our local sister march to the national March for Science, I decided to make some pins for our organizing crew.  These are relatively quick to make if you have access to a die cutting machine such as the Silhouette CAMEO, but if not you may want to try drawing or printing an atom model and gluing rhinestones to it to save time.

Materials:
*Black cardstock
*Silver glitter cardstock
*Rhinestones
*All purpose adhesive
*Pins

Directions:
*Cut out four equally sized oval shaped rings for electron orbits from the silver glitter cardstock.
*Cut out a circle slightly larger than the length of the rings from the black cardstock.
*Arrange the rings in the shape of the atom model and glue down.
*Glue a big rhinestone in the center to represent the nucleus and little rhinestones along the rings to represent electrons.  Let dry.
*Once dry, glue a pin to the back.  Set aside to dry.
