New brooch

Well, I don't have a pin for it yet, but it will be a brooch. 

Here's how I made it:

Cut out a bunch of circles from a polyester-containing fabric.  That smaller circle is my base circle.

Grab a circle in the middle and squish it up.

 Then cut off the bit where you were holding it (this probably isn't necessary, but I did it to reduce bulk when I glue everything to the base circle.

Put some hot glue on the cut off squished up end, to help preserve the pinched-ness.

Then make a glue puddle on your base circle and stick the squished end into it.
Repeat.

You could leave it all fray-y like this, but I took it one step further (because I live on the wild side).

That's it!  Glue it to a headband or a brooch pin (like I will do as soon as I remember to buy one) and voila!

It probably looks more like a carnation than anything else.  I like it.
