Flower pins, or brooches, are permanent pin-on corsages that can be created and customized using a wide array of crafting materials. Knowing make your own flower pins with silk flowers gives you the opportunity to adorn your favorite outfits, whether it be for a fun, casual look or a formal affair, such as a prom or wedding. Making flower pins from silk flowers and adding your favorite embellishments allows you to harness your creativity and design eye-catching fashion accessories.


Instructions


1. Cut the stem from a silk flower of your choice.


2. Squeeze a dot of hot glue onto the face of a brooch backing. Choose a backing from a jewelry supply store, or buy a used one from a thrift store or yard sale. Use one that is half the size of the widest part of the flower. This will assure that the brooch backing won't show.


3. Press the back of the silk flower firmly to the glued face of the brooch backing. Hold the flower in place for 1 whole minute while the glue sets.
