Got brooches but don't wear them? Make them into necklaces instead. That's what I did with 3 vintage brooches which were originally purchased from British charity shops. Try raiding your mother's or grandmother's jewelry boxes for such treasures.

The tutorial shows easy ways of having your cake and eating them too! The brooches are either slipped on, hung on a wire coil or pinned on. They can be removed to wear as pins whenever one wishes.

The time varies depending on the time needed to create the necklace part.
