They can be pretty and feminine. They can be rustic and vintage. They can be modern and trendy. They can be dainty and childish. Fortunately enough for us, they can be whatever we need them to be, granted we find the ones that fit our home’s vision. Brooches aren’t just a stylish way to spruce up an outfit, but they’re also a stylish way to spruce up your home’s decor. Sure they look great on a hat, scarf, sweater or purse but they also look great adorning the nooks and crannies of our homes.

Sure you can buy napkin rings with already attached do-dads but why not buy some cheaper, plainer napkins rings and use your own pretty brooches to do the trendy trick?(*Note: napkin rings are also great for tying back curtains!){pictures found on 1&2}.

A DIY I am actually working on myself, covering the frame of a mirror with brooches enhances the already natural light coming from the reflection.

It’s that simple!{found on pinterest}.
