Crocheted Brooches With Vintage Buttons


These are not the, over the top, unusual,  accessories that I typically make.
They are simple crocheted flower brooches embellished with vintage buttons.
Something that anyone could feel comfortable wearing.
I think they might look nice to dress up a jacket or maybe pin one on a cool weather scarf.
All were crocheted with lovely wool yarn and backed with recycled wool felt.

I love the antique glass button on this ivory one.


I think most of these will end up as gifts, but I'll probably keep at least one for myself .

I made a simple necklace as well.
I felted the wool beads myself. First I needle felted them and then followed that up with some wet felting.
There is a glass bead between each of the felted ones and the clasp is copper.
Once again, not my usual, over the top, kind of thing.



Perfect for Fall, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!
