Step One: Gather some old costume jewelry. Take apart the rhinestones, beads, and
pearls. Cut a circle or a unique shape from a plastic coffee can lid.
Arrange your "jewels" in a new jewelry design.
Step Two: Glue them to the plastic
base, covering the whole piece. Glue a metal barrette or brooch pin to
the back of the jewelry base. Let the glue set.
Now take all your knowledge about brooch-making and create a new craft from old buttons. See the next page for instructions on how to make cute button bouquet brooches.
