Christmas Tree Pin Brooches

These are the little Christmas tree brooches Marc and I put together during my recent visit to the cottage.

I had featured the first one a few of weeks ago ………

…….. after I decided to make a few more in the different colours the trees came in to give as small Advent presents and perhaps sell but first I needed to come up with  a way of presenting them.

In the end this is what I came up with, no great creative shakes ………

Handmade Christmas Tree Pin Borooch

……. just scraps of ivory, linen effect card, two punched holes and some faux stitching round the edges using a black fine liner pen.

…… simple, keeping the handmade feel.

As these won’t be going anywhere for a good few months, in order to keep them pristine I sealed them in bookmark cello bags, getting two bags out of one using my now ancient Elitech vacuum sealer, which again helps make them look more professional if I have a stall at a fayre nearer Christmas.
