Description

Brooches are a great accessory to add to bags, cardigans and even hats. This is a really simple brooch and you can add whatever colours and designs you want.

Instructions

  1. Small 1

    Take a wood slice and draw some light pencil lines across it using a ruler. These can radiate out from the centre or cut across.

  2. Small 2

    Place some tape along the lines,leaving one of the areas on the wood slice uncovered.

  3. Small 3

    Paint this area with one of your colours and leave to dry.

  4. Small 4

    Once the paint is dry remove the tape.

  5. Small 5

    Place some more tape to mark out another area and paint this a different colour.

  6. Small 6

    Again once the paint is dry remove the tape.

  7. Small 7

    Keep repeating this until you have painted as many areas as you want. I like the wood grain so I have left one area unpainted.

  8. Small 8

    Once all the paint is dry paint on a layer of clear varnish to protect the paint an any bare wood. Leave to dry.

  9. Small 9

    Turn the wood circle over and glue on the brooch back.

  10. Small table

    All finished!
