About this Make

How to make a super-cute butterfly brooch, decorated with buttons.

Materials required

You will need...

-two pairs of buttons, one pair slightly larger than the other
- some colourful felt. Any felt will do for the decorative detail but thicker/stiffer felt is better for the main butterfly shape - if you're worried about your felt not being sturdy enough, just add an extra layer between the front and back piece.
- matching sewing thread
- a brooch back or safety pin

These look so pretty. I've included this make in my craft birthday party! I've been making little craft party bags with a different activity for each one. I've been raiding my vintage craft books for these, but these are a fab addition! Thanks for showing this. I've noticed when it prints out that there is not a link back to your shop which would be nice so people can discover the lupin world too. I've written it on mine!

These are great, no doubt i will try these too, since your last make i have become a little bit felt obsessive! I made lots of felt brooches as Christmas presents, i have decorated hair elastics with my little felt creations and i have started making mini felt things to use as charms on jewellery, i have even covered things in felt. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10289471@N03/sets/72157612896688150/Thank you for your inspiration.
