saying goodbye can be given you heartache
Because i will move this year to an other city, i need to say to my fellow tear yearking choire members goodbye . I thought it would great to give them a brooch with the name of the choire on it for their performances with a tear yearking picture on it and in the colours of the choire and with a very very kitschy look;-D
The name is our choire is Hopeloos, that means in english hopeless.LOL
I had designed the picture months ago , and has used it too for the other goodbye gifts , but i liked to share this one as well with you all because it's by using other colours and material it got a different sphere .
You may use my disign but only for personel purpses.;-D

Because i used only scraps and recyling materials i had only to buy the transfer paper for fabric.
so it wasn't an exspensive craft at all.
Warning the time is without the drying time. I had to make a bunch of them so i don't know shore how much take it cost to make just one.
I forgot to mentioning that you need scraps of cotton , safety pins , measuring tape , knitting yarn, fake gems as well;-D

I hope you like this kischy tearyearking heart full with heartache , wish you all crafting fun with the making of and be crafty and creative.
Thank you for stopping by;-D
