We cut to the quick. Overview unusual scissors



Обзор необычных ножниц
 
Are there many types of scissors you've ever seen? Let's count: children's scissors in the form of a donkey, then small nail, large office, kitchen shears midsize medical with curved blades and rounded corners ... Yet there are shears, and surgical, but these are unlikely to be among the tools in every home. That is, in principle, and the finish ...But from the perspective of designers, this is only the flowers, and in fact the scissors will suffice for a review .

Recycling work: How to convert a Hairband into a Brooch/clip

Dont we all just love rosettes. I believe that there is no better way to welcome spring than with flowers. So keeping in mind my theme for this month - Reinvention or Re purposed jewelry, I would now like to show you a quick way to whip up a rosette brooch/clip in less than 15 minutes (10 with practice :).
I have used an old hairband (pony tailer) that had gotten elongated because of use. It can no longer be used as a band but that is what makes it great for this project.
Hairband brooch/Clip

Materials required: 
- old hair band with elastic,
- a shank button (I have used a stone studded shank button that I have with me from my MG days),
- Some seed beads or micro beads
- Clear Glue
- sewing thread and needle
- A piece of felt
- A brooch pin/safety pin or a Barret (depending on whether you want to make a brooch or a hair clip)
