  Step 1

  Choose a plain clip art image and print it out on paper. A simple Google search should aid in your quest or you can even create your own using a cookie cutter.

  Cut out your pattern and trace it with a pencil on the wrong side of your chosen fabric.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut your shape out of your fabric.

• 

  Step 3

  Glue your fabric shape down on stiff cardboard. This could also be done on felt or another heavy material. Anything that would keep the fabric shape stiff.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut out both your shape and the cardboard. (They're glued together so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.)

• 

  Step 5

  OPTIONAL: Use clothes pins or a heavy object to keep the fabric glued to the cardboard while it dries.

• 

  Step 6

  Glue a brooch backing onto your shape when it's dry.

• 

  Step 7

  You can also use a self adhesive brooch backing if that's simpler for you.

• 

  Step 8

  Have fun creating lots of new shapes to wear!

  Step 9

  TIP: An idea for interesting fabrics is to use an old make-up case. They are sold for for cheap at dollar stores and other retailers + many beauty subscription services send them for free every month. They have lots of interesting patterns and textures that would be harder to find at a fabric store.
