I had this Vintag-ish Fabric that I had no idea what to make out of. It was really cheap, but so cute & I felt like it was so special & I wanted to make something really special out of it. So I made these two Brooches to wear on my shirt or on my bags :)

Description

I had this Vintag-ish Fabric that I had no idea what to make out of. It was really cheap, but so cute & I felt like it was so special & I wanted to make something really special out of it. So I made these two Brooches to wear on my shirt or on my bags :)

Instructions

  1. Small img 4361 1306070984

    Cut out a length of fabric, I didnt really measure, it can be as thick or thin as you want it to within reason :) I'd say 2 -3 inches thick is just dandy

  2. Small img 4362 1306071030

    Fold your fabric in half. This is kind of odd - very optional: I flat ironed it down to make it neat & have a crease.

  3. Small img 4363 1306071092

    roll a bit together to make the center & glue it to keep it together after a few rolls.

  4. Small img 4364 1306071170

    Take the fabric and twist it, but not too tight. Gluing regularly as you go along to the sides. Twist twist - glue. Twist twist - glue. o-o i duno if that makes sense

    After a while - it should look like this.

  6. Small img 4367 1306071371

    Keep going - and glue the remainder down on the back like so. Glue any loose spots that you see

  7. Small img 4368 1306071438

    Optional: glue a little bit of ribbon to make an accent piece.

  8. Small img 4369 1306071497

    Glue a circle of scrap felt to support the flower & cover up the uglies :P

  9. Small img 4370 1306071543

    Glue your clip or pin piece to the the circle of felt using a smaller piece of felt. And you're all done :D!
