How to Create Brooch Pin From Old Crockery
I love to recycle and make something from what might go into landfill. I see potential in old crockery and china tableware. I was donated some lovely broken scratched pieces and so many treasures to upcycle in it!
I love the patterns and deigns on these vintage pieces and use my wheeled tile nippers to cut and shape the china. Remember safety Protection for eyes when cutting.
I find a piece with word Queen on it which I sand and smooth with a carbide sandstone in a mini hand drill.
Remember face mask to prevent dust inhaling .Once all edges are smooth I sand a long patch on the back to create a rough surface without glaze to help fixings hold well.
The two part epoxy resin glue is mixed in equal parts and then I spread a thin layer into back of brooch pin and the back of ceramic to create a sticky bond ready for the pin to adhere to .
The pins come in various sizes and colours however best to choose one that doesn’t show from the front and sits even onto the ceramic.
I love the little unique Queen brooch pin!
