D.I.Y.: MAKE A BROOCH OUT OF AN OLD T-SHIRT

Check out how you can make this adorable flower brooch!

You need: an old t-shirt you don't use anymore, sicssors, a needle and thread, and a pin back.

Steps:

First, cut out the petals to make your flower. You'll need 15-20, plus a flower base shape. For the base, cut a circle about 2 inches in diameter.

Make the first layer of the flower using the petals. Sew them gently, and be careful not to poke your finger! You can use a felting needle to make this easier (then you'll just need to press the petals into the base).

Keep making layers until you have a full flower.

Then, cut a small strip of the tee and make it into a ball. Put in in the middle of the flower, and sew it in. Add a pin back to make a brooch.

Finally, pop your cute new brooch on your favorite tee to dress it up.
