This is a very easy tutorial that I came up with to make brooches in any color with your own design.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Fabric Scraps
  • Needle & Thread
  • Embroidery Floss
  • Glue Gun
  • Safety Pins
  • Cardboard

Steps (8 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a circle from your fabric.And cut a smaller one from the cardboard.

  2. 2

    Draw and embroider your design on the fabric.
    On my green brooch I just cut around the pattern of the fabric.
    So if you have a piece of fabric with a pattern that you love,this is a great way to turn it into something you can wear.And you dont even need to embroider.

  3. 3

    Get your needle and thread and stitch along the edge of the circle.Now pull the thread so you get a little sack.

  4. 4

    Stuff it.I used cotton wool.

  5. 5

    Now put the cardboard circle on the top of the cotton wool.

  6. 6

    Pull the thread until its tight enough and glue a safety pin on the back.
    Your brooch is done!

  7. 7

    Wear it on your scarfs or shirts.

  8. 8

    Or add them to your bags to spice them up!

    Hope you enjoyed! :)
