Today, I am sharing a tutorial for a quick and easy use for fabric scraps, making brooches.

So, dig up your cutest scrap fabrics and let's get started.

Scrap Rosette Brooches

Materials needed:

• Colorful fabric scraps, about 5-6 inches long preferably.
• Pinking Shears
• Felt scraps, or felt sheets if you don't have any scraps.
• Pretty buttons that match your fabric scraps.
• Pinbacks
• Scraps of lace and ribbon.
• Thread
• Basic Sewing Supplies

First, using your pinking shears, cut the fabrics into long strips. Roughly about 1-2 inches wide and 5-6 inches long.

It's good to cut several strips of varying widths, it makes the next steps more interesting.

Here is my video tutorial for lace rosettes. You will need to follow the same steps to turn your fabric scrap strips into fabric scrap rosettes.

While you're at it, make a few lace rosettes too to pair with your scrappy ones.

When you're ready, gather all your rosettes and buttons and start assembling.

Stack together at least 2 rosettes in colors that work to your taste to create a cute brooch.

Sew a button in the center, sew through all layers of your brooch. Feel free to add any other embellishments that you wish.

Cute a circle of felt and sew to the back of the brooch. This is demonstrated in my lace applique brooch video tutorial. Attach a pinback to finish up your brooch.

Now go make some more, they make great little gifts.

I made several varieties. These black and blue brooches are my favorite, I love the cute heart buttons.

I also love how well the lace works with the pattern of the fabric on the green brooches. The purple and blue fabrics are an interesting combination too.

I hope you enjoyed this post, my next one should be up soon. Look forward to it.
