Small Christmas Pin Badges

This year I have bought a variety of snowman and Christmas tree brooches from either Temu or Ali Express for the lady members of staff at I & B’s school to wear throughout the month of December, but what to do for the gentlemen?

It took me a little while, but then it hit me to make some small pin badges to stick on their lanyards ……..

…… then it was a doddle!  Marc sent me the small, plastic embellishments a couple of years ago. The reindeer  measure around 3cm tall and the tree and snowman just a little bit smaller.

I’ve also had the butterfly(?) clips for ages too, so all I really had to do was marry them together a little E7000 glue.

To present them in a more professional looking manner, I then made a simple card to put them on.

A small, no great shakes present, with most of the time spent waiting for the glue to set.

I’m well chuffed with how they turned out and now have more ideas as to how I can and will repeat the idea with all manner of other seasonal embellishments throughout next year. Happy days!
