Small Crab Badges

With a holiday theme in mind, I made a few of these badge/brooches for Iris to put in her end of term “Thank You” bags for all the female staff who work in her classroom to put on their lanyards.

I started by using B -7000 glue to stick the brooch fittings onto the back of small wooden frames.

I then gave the MDF crabs one coat of “Cheese Puff” Ranger Enamel Accents …….

I decided to leave the frame “au natural”, just adding some tiny, silver flat back gems for bubbles.  There wasn’t an awful lot to them really.

As these were going to be small gifts I decided to put them on a display card, just to make them look a little more professional ……

You need some more of the tie pin button clasps as they are easier to use than the small brooch backs big l9ve Marc
