Choose an embellishment out of your stash.
I chose a link off a broken bracelet that can be sewn in place. You can also use glue if you wish.
Cut a small square of felt.
Trim it into a circle and check that it fits on the back of the brooch.

Sew the brooch pin to the felt.
Cut a tiny square of felt.
Check it that it fits and glue it in place.
Glue the whole of the back piece onto the back of the brooch.
Make sure the glue has dried properly and everything is firmly in place before wearing. Doesn't it look pretty!
