Making a Beautiful Decorative Safety-Pin Brooch

Part 1

To add a bright accent to an outfit, simply use an original brooch. You do not have to choose massive or bulky jewelry. A small, sweet accessory is enough to make any outfit "come alive."

- a decorative brooch pin;
- glass beads in different sizes;
- chains;
- charms;
- head pins;
- jump rings;
- round-nose and needle-nose pliers.

Part 4

Do not be upset if you do not have one of the elements. Specialty stores sell all the materials you need to make costume jewelry yourself.

First, **prepare the brooch base**. Hold **chains of the desired length and jump rings** against the decorative pin. This lets you assess the size and appearance of the accessory in advance. **I recommend choosing jump rings made from wire at least 0.9 mm thick**. This ensures that the connection will not open during use. If you are happy with the composition, assemble and join the elements as planned.

**Place beads, seed beads, and other decorative elements on head pins**. I decided to arrange the beads in a certain order: I put some beside the bird on the brooch, and hung the rest in a cluster from the chain at the other end of the pin.

To make the cluster fuller and more voluminous, you can add larger beads. **Attach the charms**, and the brooch is ready to wear. This brooch can also make a wonderful New Year's gift or a gift for another holiday!
