Tip from Practical Polly: Pin plus button equals brooch!
This great little idea from Practical Polly definitely wins the prize for quick craft idea of the day! And despite taking up no more than a minute or two of your time, it'll give maximum effect to any outfit.
Most crafters I know have a button collection, with buttons of all shapes, sizes and colours they couldn't resist in that thrift store, but will probably never use. Polly's simple observation is that sewing a pin on to the back of a button makes a brooch.
If your one of those rare crafters without odd buttons coming out of your ears, there are plenty of places online to find interesting ones. Inches to metres has loads, as does The Glitter Pot
