Do you need a little brooch to brighten up your favorite outfit or trusty winter scarf? This piece is super easy to make and looks great.

You will need the following tools and materials to make this brooch:

1: A glue-on brooch pin.

2: Araldite 2-part glue.

3: A skewer.

4: A scrap piece of paper.

5: A flat piece of plastic to make the base of your brooch. I used this green piece of laser-cut acrylic.

6: Some assorted rhinestones with flat-back settings. I also used a small round mirror to decorate my brooch.

Follow these steps to make your brooch:

1: Mix up the glue on some scrap paper. To do this you will need to squeeze out equal parts from the tube and mix them well using the skewer.

2: Add glue to the backs of the rhinestones and apply them to the piece of acrylic in any pattern you choose. I made the mirror the center of my brooch and added an extra rhinestone on top.

3: Wait for the glue on the rhinestones to dry. You might need to mix some extra glue to use to attach the brooch pin.

4: Add the glue to the brooch pin and place it carefully on the back side of your plastic base. If your base is translucent like mine you might want to ‘hide’ your pin behind the decorations on the front.

Once the glue on the pin is dry your brooch is finished and ready to wear! How easy was that?
