Duran Duran Paper Gods Pins

Duran Duran had just released their 14th studio album "Paper Gods" in September of 2015, and has been the most celebrated and anticipated album in 5 years, since 2010's "All You Need is Now"! So, to celebrate, I want to take a little inspiration from Mark Montano's Emoji Pins project, and replace images of emojis with that of Duran Duran icons featured on the album cover.

PS: Imagine if Duran Duran would sell these during their concerts!

Now, to make the images into pins, add a layer of Diamond Glaze to the front and back of your image. This will make the pin bright and shiny. Then, finally attach a metal pin back to the back of your image with glue.
