How to turn anything into a brooch

This is me playing with polymer clay again. It was fun making this brooch. I mixed blue and green to get this dark shade of green and before baking it in the oven I pushed some pieces of sea glass I found on the beach last summer.

I was happy I didn’t burn it. I am having some trouble finding the perfect moment to take the things out of the oven lately 😀

So to make a brooch out of anything (almost:), you just need superglue and a brooch pin or a piece of felt and a safety pin. Since safety pins are most likely to be lying around the house at odd hours when you’re baking plastic – I prefer the technique.

Which is basically: cut a circle of felt and cut two opening inside this circle, then insert the safety pin (as pictured below).

Then dab a bit of superglue on the back of your brooch. (Don’t exaggerate or you will stick your fingers to it!)

Stick the felt on it and press for some 30 seconds. Ta-da: a brooch!
