You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 Brooch Back
  • 1 Needle
  • 1 Thread
  • 1 Button
  • 1 Hot Glue Gun
  • ⅒ m Fabric

Steps (14 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    First step: assemble supplies! What you will need clockwise from the top: lace, fabric, scissors, chalk pen, button, brooch back and brooch pin, needle and thread and straight pins.

  2. 2

    Measure out how much lace you will need to cover the brooch back and cut it into strips. I needed 6 pieces for mine.

  3. 3

    Pin your lace pieces together. You might need to play with it to get the right shape.

  4. 4

    Sew all of the pieces together.

  5. 5

    Measure the width of your lace, this will be important in a minute.

  6. 6

    Take your fabric and draw a soft triangle with your fabric pencil. I used the measurement from the last step to figure out how tall to make them.

  7. 7

    Cut out your little triangle once you are happy with the shape. I was lazy and cut out all six at once. It made them all a little different, which I liked.

  8. 8

    Arrange your triangles.

  9. 9

    Pin your triangles to the lace.

  10. 10

    Sew through all layers.

  11. 11

    My button was kind of small and didn't cover the stitching, so I cut out a square and placed it in the middle to cover it up.

  12. 12

    I sewed the button and the square to the lace and triangles at the same time.

  13. 13

    Next I took a hot glue gun and glued the lace etc. to the metal brooch back. then I stuck on the pin.

    Wear your brooch and enjoy!
