-
Find an old or unwanted tape measure and take a needle and thread.
-
At one end of the tape measure, fold over one edge and sew it down to the main body of the tape measure to create a small loop.
-
Repeat this behind the first loop. Sew in place.
-
Continue this round, making loops behind the first and sewing in place.
-
When you have worked your way round in a whole circle it should look like a flower. Cut off the excess tape measure.
-
Sew a button on to the front.
-
Sew a brooch clasp on to the back.

Really like this broach, it's dead cute. Kinda reminds me of the ribbon ones Neils Children used to wear.
