and pretty cheap, too.
This is a great use for an old broken frame. Use a scrap of corded lace for a more refined look than raschel gives.
Admittedly, this is an old project so the photos aren't really up to scratch. Enjoy though!

Step 1
Find an old frame as big as you want your brooch to be and remove the glass and back.
Step 2
Press the clay into the frame and make sure its smooth.
Step 3
Remove the clay and allow to dry. Place on the wrong side of the lace and trace around it.
Step 4
Cut out your shape and put aside.
Step 5
Paint the front and back side of the clay a contrasting colour to your lace and leave to dry. Varnish if you like.
Step 6
Glue the lace shape over the clay one.
Step 7
Dab some glue around the edges of the shape and reinsert it into the frame.
Step 8
Glue a pin back onto the back side.
