With a holiday theme in mind, I made a few of these badge/brooches for Iris to put in her end of term “Thank You” bags for all the female staff who work in her classroom to put on their lanyards.
I started by using B -7000 glue to stick the brooch fittings onto the back of small wooden frames.
I then gave the MDF crabs one coat of “Cheese Puff” Ranger Enamel Accents …….
……. adding two googly eyes when the accents was dry ……..
…… before gluing the crab, again with B-7000, to the front of the frame.
I decided to leave the frame “au natural”, just adding some tiny, silver flat back gems for bubbles. There wasn’t an awful lot to them really.
As these were going to be small gifts I decided to put them on a display card, just to make them look a little more professional ……
……. made using a 2cm x 2cm scrap of white card, a small hole punch and some doodling round the edges. Et voila!
