DIY Brooch Necklace

I have been seeing  a lot of these glamorous necklaces on the runway and on the streets. This DIY is easy to do and gives you full liberty to design this chunky brooch with your own creative flair. This DIY is brought to you by P.S. I made this...


New year = new you!  Sparkle and shine for a fete that’s finer then fine this New Year’s Eve.  Expect jaws to drop (along with the ball) while you ring in 2012.  Get inspired by over-the-top glitz and glam for a decadent DIY stunner. Re-purpose brooches in your jewelry box, or pick up a few at flea markets or on eBay. To create, pin several brooches, arranged in a bib-like formation onto a piece of felt. Outline the bib shape with chalk and cut out around the brooches.  You may need to sew a few stitches on the backside of the felt if brooches are weighing down the fabric, as you want them to lay flat.  Flip over necklace base and sew a chain onto the back. Use a new chain or opt for one from an old necklace for an extra special touch. P.S.- Here’s to a happy, healthy & crafty 2012!
