Bridal Hair Accessories made from Brooches

A very simple technique on using brooches to create a stunning hair comb or hair band ideal for weddings or communions 


What you will need is

  • Metallic Wire
  • Brooches
  • 12 inches of 2 inch Lace for the frill
  • Metal Comb
  • Needle & thread

    Using a pliers or strong scissors remove the Pin from the back of the brooch to insure it sits more flush on the comb.  Be careful when doing this as sometimes it can cause the stones to pop out of the brooches. (always keep a tube of glue handy to glue these back immediately or you will loose the stone forever)

    Thread the metallic wire through the brooches to join all three brooches together.  Doing this will make the brooches sit more securely on the comb.


    With a needle and thread gather the strips of lace into an oval shape frill that is large enough to cover most of the comb. 



    Using your glue gun glue the frill to the top of the comb along the straight bar.  You could also add a few stitches to be sure to be sure  :) 


    Complete this simple comb by gluing the wired brooches on top of the frill and then with your needle and thread add some stitches along the entire comb to keep it all in place.
