Steps (14 steps, 60 minutes)

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
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
Pin your lace pieces together. You might need to play with it to get the right shape.
-
4
Sew all of the pieces together.
-
5
Measure the width of your lace, this will be important in a minute.
-
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
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
Arrange your triangles.
-
9
Pin your triangles to the lace.
-
10
Sew through all layers.

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

13
Next I took a hot glue gun and glued the lace etc. to the metal brooch back. then I stuck on the pin.
