DIY Mother’s Day Corsage: Felt Dahlia Flower Brooch

May 1, 2011 by Linda Lanese

How stunning is this Dahlia Flower Brooch. Wondering about what to make Mom for Mother’s Day? Megan Reardon of “Holidash” has been thinking about traditional gifts like flower corsages and lockets, and she decided to combine the two. This felt dahlia pin has a secret pocket in the back that can hold a picture or message for your favorite mom.

You’ll need:

– scissors

– Fabri-tac adhesive

– two sheets craft felt, one for the flower and one in a contrasting color for the back

– needle and thread

– brooch pin (available in the beading section of craft stores)

– a bit of thin cardboard (a cereal box from your recycling bin will be perfect for this)
