Mini Christmas Gonk Brooches/Badges

I can’t exactly say I like “gonks”, there’s been a craze, bordering on an obsession for them on one or two of the Facebook store pages I follow that I just don’t get, however when I saw this pack of 4 tree decoration gonks  in Poundstretcher (£3.49 per box) I thought I would get a pack for Marc and I as a joke ………

Then I got to thinking …….. could I make little brooches/badges with them? They would look so cute on Iris and Bertie’s coats in the run up to Christmas.

No great shakes here, all I did was glue gun (sewing didn’t really work) a 25mm brooch bar finding on the back of the gonks  ……….

…… and a tiny silver nail art heart on their hats and they were good to go. Needless to say I was back up to Poundstretcher the next day, I wanted to make some more and Marc thought he could make a small, festive something for his “girls” to make them smile.

To “present” them I would simply attach them to a white card square, adding a little doodling round the edges and pop them in a small cello bag....... voila!

    These are so cute! I love the addition of the tiny heart. Your grandchildren will look adorable with these on their coats.

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.
