You Will Need (8 things)

  • 3 x different colours Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Washi Tape or Masking Tape
  • Strong Glue
  • 1 x Brooch Pin
  • 1 x 5cm Wood Circles

Steps (10 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a wood slice and draw some light pencil lines across it using a ruler. These can radiate out from the centre or cut across.

  2. 2

    Place some tape along the lines,leaving one of the areas on the wood slice uncovered.

  3. 3

    Paint this area with one of your colours and leave to dry.

  4. 4

    Once the paint is dry remove the tape.

  5. 5

    Place some more tape to mark out another area and paint this a different colour.

  6. 6

    Again once the paint is dry remove the tape.

  7. 7

    Keep repeating this until you have painted as many areas as you want. I like the wood grain so I have left one area unpainted.

  8. 8

    Once all the paint is dry paint on a layer of clear varnish to protect the paint an any bare wood. Leave to dry.

  9. 9

    Turn the wood circle over and glue on the brooch back.

  10. 10

    All finished!
