  Step 1

  Leaving a few inches spare take your tape measure in both hands and pull each side towards each side towards its self.

• 

  Step 2

  using a needle sew the centres together, alternativly you can use some glue

• 

  Step 3

  Repeat this step untill you have 5 loops, sewing or guing each time.

• 

  Step 4

  now you need to create the second layer of loops.
  These loops need to be smaller than the ones below, 4 should be plenty

• 

  Step 5

  Once you are satisfied with the fullness of the brooch cut off the excess leaving enough tape to fold over the into a normal loop and stitch/ glue the underside.

• 

  Step 6

  With the excess strip, glue/sew this to the back of the brooch then attach a brooch back
