Sort of a Steampunk - inspired broach. A great way to recycle old clocks/ watches

-
Find/ buy all of the clocks/ watches that you are going to use. Charity shops and car boot sales usually have some cheap ones. It's better if the clock/ watch is an old one as it should have metal cogs.
-
Now comes the fun part: taking the clocks apart. You basically need to break the clock down into separate cogs and screws.
-
Once you've took the clocks/ watches apart, arrange some of the cogs into the shape that you want.
-
Glue the pieces together. If pieces don't overlap, glue them onto another piece of metal from one of the clocks/ watches. Any strong glue should work. Or, if you have a soldering iron, soldering the pieces would look good.
Leave to dry. -
Glue the pin back onto the back of the broach.
Leave to dry, and it's finished :D

Great upcycle of turning what would be trash into a lovely, cool treasure.

you know, metal cogs are harder to find then one might think! I've been looking all over for things for steampunk costumes. hehe, nice work though. <3
