Do It Yourself Antique Brooch

Do It Yourself, or DIY, wedding projects allow you to create your own personalized favors and touches that can be applied in any way you can imagine on your special day, for a shower or party. All you need are some basic items and a little creativity.

It may look like a family heirloom, but this pretty little accessory takes less than an hour to make! This Do It Yourself Antique Brooch is incredibly easy and oh-so-clever. You can customize this brooch to match your wedding theme colors. Attach it onto your shoes, pin it on your dress, or even wear it as an accent in your hair. It also makes the perfect gift. Be sure to peruse all of our do-it-yourself wedding projects. We have plenty to choose from.

Supplies:
Pearls
Swarovski Crystals
Jewelry Pliers
Clear Jewelry Thread
Glue
Scissors
Some kind of base (We used an earring)

1. To begin, remove the earring hook with jewelry pliers.

2. Next, glue a clear Swarovski crystal to the center of base.

3. Take the clear thread and thread a ring of pearls through the holes of the base.

Gorgeous don’t you think? Thank you to Hilton Pittman Photography for this adorable wedding do-it-yourself project.

We would love to hear what you whink

  1. These are so gorgeous! I absolutely love vintage jewelry and now i can keep a lookout for one more thing on my list……large wire earrings! Thank you ao much for the inspiration!

  2. Great idea! I do want to caution that you have to be VERY careful what kind of glue you use with Swarovski crystals–if you want them to stay clear and sparkly or stay stuck for a long time, which I assume you do! You can get away with more types of glue with Swarovski foil-backed rhinestones, but you still need to be very careful. I prefer to use wire instead of glue whenever possible, and it would be very easy to make something like was posted above with no glue at all. That’s the beauty of working with Swarovski crystals (beads made out of leaded crystal)!

  3. I have a ton of old beads from vintage necklaces that belonged to my grandmother. I am not the handiest when it comes to making jewelry, but this looks like something I could do with them. Thanks!

  5. Awesome! I have been dreaming of making my own sash for my wedding gown since I don’t want to spend $100+ on one. This is the perfect starting point. Thanks!

  6. I am swooning over this DIY brooch! I have been looking everywhere for the *perfect* one and haven’t found anything close, now I can try my own hand at creating my dream!

  7. That is so pretty! It’s becoming a little tougher to find real vintage pieces (which I transform into new updated bridal accessories.) I imagine lots of brides will love to make their own. Plus, there’s the added benefit of being able to craft a number of matching ones, like for a bridesmaids set.
