Googly Eyed Wooden Cat Pin Badge Brooches

These cat wooden brooches follow on from the bear brooches I posted a week or so ago.


Made exactly the same way, just a different colourway ………

…… starting by changing the cats appearance by giving him a pair of large googly eyes ………..

……. followed by covering a 1in MDF square with a piece of scrap paper and edging the back with faux stitching using a black fine liner pen.

The next step was to add a curved piece of silk fabric paper for the body then gluing the head on at a jaunty angle using E8000 glue to make sure there was a really secure bond.

All “he” needed then was a small bow, the ends of which I painted over with PVA glue to help stop them from fraying.

The final step was a bit more  faux stitching round the edges and a brooch pin on the back.  Simples!

    These have to be my favourites!!! What a clever idea to make the cat’s body.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
