New obsession: Felt brooches

I have to admit it. I'm really really addicted in making small felt brooches. It started when my friend, Aziah requested to make some for her to wear at school. After browsing for ideas and making a few brooches, I just couldn't stop myself. It ended up that I made more than my limitation (ONLY 2 brooches are allowed per week due to busy life at new school). But I'm having fun. It just fills all the emptiness of having to stay here in Kedah (no shopping mall, dominos, McD and more and more). Plus, I even made some for myself and wore them proudly to school!! Some of my students started to notice my brooches and asked about them. Here are some of the brooches. There will be more and more coming~

P/S: Sorry for the low quality of the pictures because I used my phone's camera. Too lazy to find my camera..

Pressie from bestie!!

Yup... Got these cute CUTE cute buttons from my bestie, Aziah. Love it very much!!! I still can't forget her message for me about the buttons, "Use it wisely young padawan". Thanks friend! Gonna treasure the buttons!!!

Sharing is caring : Cheap Button & Thread

I went to a a shop here in Kedah where it sells a lots of plastic wares and other house supplies too. You can find many cheap items including buttons and threads. I grabbed this buttons for only RM2 (20 pcs) and this pack of high quality threads for only rm4.50 (1o colourful threads).

Can you beliveve it? Neither do I. As the result, I came out from the shop grinning satisfied-ly. However, those buttons come in only in dark blue colour. It would be better if they are in pink, purple and green. Sigh...

Felt Craft: Dahlia Brooch

Came across this blog that have tutorial on how to make your own dahlia brooch. I tried as instructed in the tutorial but I have no fabric glue and decided to stitch all the petals instead. It took me about 1 hour to cut all the petals and stitch them on the felt. At the end, my brooch was not perfectly round and a little bit oblong-ish. However, it still beautiful. Why don't you made 1 for yourself today. It will definitely brighten your outfit. Plus, it only cost you less than RM1 and 1/24 of your day. Happy trying~

P/S: I just used some cheap safety pin as the backpin. No one will ever notice it!
