Don’t throw out an old brooch. Repurpose it and make something entirely new
A decorative comb is an instant, fuss-free way to dress up a hairdo for a party, wedding or night out. A comb can also add sparkle to an otherwise ordinary hair day — no special occasion required. Before rushing out to the store in search of the perfect statement piece, consider repurposing an old brooch into a one-of-a-kind hair accessory.
Brooches have been around since the Bronze Age as a way to keep garments closed. These days, they often adorn shirts and jacket lapels before being tossed aside when fashion trends change. This project is a fitting opportunity to upcycle brooches and add darling details to a hairstyle without any additional cost. Make two or three for a truly eclectic look.
