DIY Antique Brooch: A Personalized Wedding Accessory

Share

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.
