Hi Everyone,
I've been wanting to clean up some flowers, I've had in my stash for a long time. Today I decided I was going to use some silk flowers and feathers to create brooches to match my wardrobe for Fall..
I've been watching the trend for Fall, orange big chunky accessories are in.
H & M has these large silk brooches starting at $9.99.
Here is an easy way to create yours for just $1.67..
Here is what you will need..
1.Large Silk Flowers
2.Feathers
3.Brooch pins
4.Fabric Glue (fabri-tac
from Beacon Adhesive)Let's start, rearrange the flower so it looks more bouffant, then use the fabric tac to adhere the petals.
Cut 1 branch of feather in half then adhere to the back of the flower. Then add the brooch let it dry over night by using the Fabri-tac..
Here is the result! this flower matches my shirt perfectly..
What do you think is it worth $1.67???? leave me a comment let me know what you think?
I challenge you to update your wardrobe with this simple accessory...
Have a fabulous day,
Maggie

Really beautiful flower, I could see asking about $10.00 for it, they are in the retail stores. And receipts sound delicious!
Thanks for sharing

You have created a masterpiece in this brooch and you would never think it cost so little.

The is one beautiful broach!! :)
It looks gorgeous! And I bet it's a lot easier to get a matching brooch when you make it yourself than if you go searching for one! Not that it would be any more economic considering the prices over here where I live... It's often a lot cheaper to just go and buy one than buy the materials you'd need if you don't happen to have them stashed already. :-s
That is amazing! Great job, thanks for linking up to Tuesday Tell All and I hope that you keep coming back!
So cute! It is such a good and simple idea, and it really does help update those wardrobes!! Thanks for linking up on Fabric Tuesdays, see you next week! :)
Ooh!!! :) So pretty! And I love it when you can make something for a fraction of the selling price! ;) I just wish I had more pizazz/style, so I could get away with wearing something like that...
Great pin.
So simple but looks expensive! Love it!
Very pretty and quite the cost saver. Shari (cricutrookie)
