I need direction and advice ...brooch bouquets !

EBay, bootfairs, charity shops, friends and family for brooches - also bits of earrings and necklaces can come in handy. No advice on how to make it as I haven't got that far yet. Good luck and make sure you flash when you're done

3d jewellery on here sells lovely brooches and the handles to hold them all together. Also has a tutorial on how to make the bouquets

I've started toying with the idea and also got some earrings to fill the bouquets, so keep eyes open for them too, you can add glue to the pin and stick on the ball

Mine was a brooch bouquet and I got the majority on ebay - I started collecting them about 6-8 months before so I had enough time. I did get some really nice ones in charity shops but they did tend to be a lot more expensive than Ebay and wasn't easy to find them! My problem was that I needed blue ones so I did find that some of the ones from China were actually more green than blue! If buying on ebay, it is worth it to look at the ones from Chinese sellers as they can be very cheap with no postage but just be careful - a couple of mine never arrived but ebay did refund me which was helpful.

I knew you girlies would be helpful x

I know its not a full brooch bouquet but this is what I had .

I got most of them from ebay (china )I was a bit dubious at first but when they arrived I was pleased with them and they were cheap.

others I got from craft shops .
Look on youtube ,there are clips to show you how to make them more sturdy with wire so they don't flop about if you know what I mean .

thanks for the mention, I also got a MASSIVE delivery of brooches today so loads back in stock

I got some pieces (earing & bracelets) from Primark and glue brooch pins on the back.

Great advice !thanks so much girlies x
