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 ………

……. 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!
