I have lots of small bits around the craft space, and to utilize some that are under the category of “I’m going to need that some day..”, I made a simple brooch & medallion.

For the brooch

Step 1: gather supplies – pin backing, needle-nose pliers, scissors, E6000 glue, markers, miscellaneous bits of old jewelry, broken parts & mismatched earrings.

For the medallion

All the steps are the same, but I used fabric that I drew a simple design on for the back of the medallion. That way light can shine through it .
