Timeless Key Brooch
Unlock the beauty of a simple key by adorning it with vintage flea market finds.
YOU’LL NEED
Materials
Pearlized button, 1½” diameter
House key, 2¼” long
Watch face, ½” diameter
Brass stamping flourish, 1¾” long
Swarovski flatback rhinestone, crystal AB, 5mm
Acrylic butterfly charm
Vintage postage stamp
Pin back
Tools & Supplies
E-6000 adhesive
Toothpick
WHAT TO DO
1. Use the E-6000 to glue the house key to the pearlized button.
2. Glue the watch face and the brass flourish onto the key so the numbers at the bottom of the watch face show.
3. Use the toothpick to place a tiny dot of glue on the back of the rhinestone, then place it in the center of the watch face.
4. Cut a piece of the vintage postage stamp to fit along the edge of the pearlized button. Glue the postage stamp piece in place and top it with the butterfly charm.
5. Glue the pin back to the back of the brooch slightly higher than the center.
Change Of Heart: Don’t feel locked into to making a brooch. If you’d like to make a necklace, skip the pin back and glue a bail to the top instead!
