I am really chuffed with these little pin brooches, even though they were no great shakes to make …….
I have had the pencil beads from The Works for a little while but didn’t have a clue what to do with them for, then as I am really into badge/brooch making at the moment, it finally twigged ……..
…… lining four different coloured beads up on a small craft stick (Hobbycraft pack of 50 assorted colours for £1) and then sticking everything together with E8000 glue for a really firm bond ……..
……….. and a small brooch fitting on the back…….
……. I’d got me a really cute badge, perhaps for Iris and Bertie on the first day back after a school holiday, a small, school themed fairing gift for a teachers lanyard or even a cracker gift.
Like I said, no great shakes, but a little more craft stash used up, but why 23 beads in a pack? It’s seems such a random number, another one and I could have made six badges!

Those are so cute! The teachers will love them. You could make a smaller brooch for Iris using the last three of them.
The badges look great & are the perfect gift idea.

great for teacher gifts lol ...maybe they go by weight but 23 does seem random.
