This is another take on the super, simple trinket brooch, as I said before, one of my most treasured brooches started life as a humble safety pin, and when I got my hands on some gold ones, the Christmas ideas started fizzing!
Yet again, I headed to the Joan Collins Box in the studio. I am sure we all have a pile of sparkly bits and pieces lying about the house that could be reborn into beautiful trinket jewellery.
This brooch works because it is a stylised take on a charm bracelet.
You will need:
- large gold safety pin
- jewellry connector loops (available at bead and craft stores)
- trinkets, charms, bits of broken jewellery
- jewellry pliers
How to do it:
- make sure you are fixing the trinkets to the side of the pin that does not open.
- arrange your trinkets and work out your design.
- using pliers, fix connecter loops onto the trinkets, fix them together if need be
- prize open the connector loops and fix onto the closed side of the pin.
