Here’s a special craft project and a great idea for a quick and pretty gift for Mother’s Day.
Rosette broaches.
They are so very pretty and fun to make. I’ve made multiple versions before.
All it takes is a bit of lace, maybe some felt, glue (like the Aleene’s Jewel-it I used), pin backs, and some embellishments.
If you look carefully, you should see that I used some of the lace leftover from one of my blouse makeovers. That’s what I love about this, you can use up scraps and bits easily.
The first broach was inspired by my old button broach tutorial. For that one I used a cameo style button I got at SAS.
For this broach however, I used the other cameo from one of those sets of earrings I made-over (see Jewelry Makeover: Turning Earrings into Cute Necklaces).
So the one pair of earrings produced and cameo necklace and a matching broach. However, I’m just going to give this away, it’s the perfect gift for Mother’s Day.
Since I had more leftover lace and all my supplies were out, I whipped up this second broach. For decoration, I used a ribbon bow (made from leftover ribbon) and a flat back pearl. It’s simple and it works.
Both of these pins were finished on the back with a felt circle to cover the raw edge of the lace, just like in my applique lace rosette broach tutorial.
If you want to whip up a few of these to give to your loved ones (or to add to your wardrobe), be sure to check out my tutorials.
