DIY Floral Brooches

Here’s another fun way to accessorize your rather plain attire using papier mâché. Crafter Cathy Callahan via Craftzine.com gives us the lowdown on this quirky, easy-to-make vintage-looking accessory. It is both so chic and cute at the same time, you must try it pronto.

With a little help using pinking scissors (or any decorative edge scissors you have in your home), a hole punch, some of your favorite paint colors, a glue, a sealer (try Mod Podge) and a lot of patience, you can begin making your own papier mâché floral brooches!

I think this will also go very well attached to the backpocket of my jeans, or the lapel of my plain white shirt. It can even liven up my bag when used as a charm, or lift the look of my fedora hat. I think it can also be a pendant, don’t you think? Love it!
