Scrapbustin' Pretty Brooch Tutorial

These pretty brooches are all made with scraps of fabrics-from silk, to taffetta, to tulle.

Have fun experimenting with your own make!

Cut out circles of fabric in graduating sizes. Mine range from 2 inch diameter down to 1/4 inch.

Carefully singe the edges with a lighter. (Have water near --just in case.)

I added a layer of tulle for more texture. Singe it too--peeeeu! It stinks when burned.

Stack the layers up on each other and sew together in the middle:

Trim

Hot glue a button in the middle.

Hot glue a brooch part on the back. (You could use barettes too.)

Cut a piece of felt out and slip it through the middle part,

 glue down the ends to cover the glue spot.

Wear them out. Give them to friends...so easy and cute.
