Upcycled Vintage Button Brooch Workshop
Adult Online Workshop | This class is completed
Bring your oddment buttons and one-off jewelry bits and join us for some inspired upcycling and brooch-making. Choose your background buttons from the instructor’s large trove of vintage buttons. Add your own special buttons and findings to really make your piece pop, and then pull it all together using a simple, easy-to-learn threading technique. This craft is the perfect way to showcase those special buttons you’ve been hanging on to for years, and your new/old brooch will enliven your winter garments through the cold months ahead.
- Students bring:
- Vintage buttons
- Bits of broken jewelry, new or old
- One-off earrings
