Brooch approach
Create a lovely gemstone flower pin
By Brenda Schweder

You've seen them everywhere - on sweaters, jackets, scarves, and handbags. So don't be shy about "brooching" the subject; make the season's hottest accessory your own. The key finding, an ingenious pin back with a mesh dome, awaits adornment with teardrop-shaped gemstones. Add copper leaf stampings for a beautiful backdrop, bejewel the center of the pin, and the resulting look is anything but a fragile flower.
