Little Pencil Pin Brooches

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.

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.
