Looking for a quick way to jazz up a favourite handbag? These gorgeous pieces are made with a little sequin and stone glamour. And they're so simple to put together, all you really need to decide is which colourways you love the most! Here, shimmering gems have been covered with co-ordinating mesh fabric to give the finished piece that extra stand-out twinkle. Once attached, these brooches will transform any plain shoulder bag into designer-style arm candy. So, what are you waiting for?

Crystal Brooches

1. Sew or glue 5mm square sequins onto a circular piece of stiff fabric. Start from the outside and work inwards so that the sequins overlap, leaving a coin-sized circle in the middle of the material free.

2. Cover four different-sized acrylic stones in coloured mesh material and a final one with thin patterned fabric. Stretch the material around to the back of each gem and tack the ends in place.

3. Arrange the crystal in a cluster, with the patterned fabric piece in the middle, and use the glue gun to fix them onto the centre of the sequin base. Adhere a brooch finding to the reverse to complete.
