Last week at MOPS* we made brooches.
Here's my attempt. Still not sure if I like mine or not.
Very simple though when made with a hot glue gun (my new favourite crafting tool!) Being fun and easy made it the perfect activity for MOPS. Roughly cut felt and fabric circles, add a button and a brooch pin and stick them all together with a hot glue gun. You could also add them to a headband instead of a brooch if you were feeling inclined.
I have been collecting ideas for quick and simple crafts to make with the MOPS Mums one day over here on Pinterest.** Any ideas to add?

Oh, what a clever idea! So simple yet so effective!
I love Pinterest! Could spend hours there just pining away!
Hot glue guns are just the best aren't they?
I love your brooches! Hopefully they grow on you xx
A very cute idea and so easy to personalise to your favourite colour scheme, outfit, etc!
Thanks for the link to your Pinterest. I will stalk you there for sure :-) I don't have a space (not really a visual person as you may have guessed?), but I do love looking at other people's things. I love your brooches. A splash of colour and unique to boot x
Really cute idea. I am just starting to get into Pinterest.
I love my glue gun, but my favourite new toy is a staple gun! Lots of fun, and a wee bit scary too! I've been trying to make a present for Frog - I'll tell you more later...
xx
Oh they're so gorgeous Emma and seemingly very simple... something even I could try my hand at ;o)
You always have such great ideas, thanks again xo
These are really cute Em! It reminds me that I must invest in a hot glue gun myself!!!
They are gorgeous Emma!
I am a newbie on Pinterest, keep forgetting about it to be honest, and really dont know what I am doing there.
Love pinterest - on there as Ally I think!
Haven't tried a glue gun - thinkI'd be dangerous
They look great!
I make little fabric brooches too for Boos Tees, but I stitch them...maybe I should break out the hot glue gun instead!
i like the brooches! i think i would sew the layers together in the end though, just through the buttonholes. over to check out your pinterest board!
These are so cute, like Sylvia, I would also add some running stitches through the layers. I like the green and yellow one especially. Mops sounds like a great group to be part of and yes Pinterest is addictive though I don't pin much but love to look at what others pin.
They are gorgeous! They have endless possibilities in shape, design, colour etc!
very cute! I made some like these ages ago so simple yet affective.and a great project with kids {note to self must do this with mine!}
love them all but really love the yellow and green one i love the retroness {even a word ??} of it very groovy.
hugs
