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!
