Black and white flower brooch tutorial


Making this Black and white flower brooch is not hard. The hardest part is to find a silk flower that will not look too young looking.
I am going for the classy and grown up look.


I cut the stem with scissors. I made sure that the back was flat enough to be a brooch.


Hot glued a piece of felt and the brooch element.


Beautiful with pearls. Any color top would look amazing worn with it!

  6. Hey, I don't get here often, so this is a thrill for me. Nice blog! In "my" country we'd say "Classy"!

    I had to get off twitter, face Book, etc., etc. It was not easy. However, I cannot join your giveaway, but that is FINE. Reading and Seeing your blog is enough 'giveaway' for me!

    PEACE!
