How to Make a DIY Brooch Board to Display Your Vintage Brooches

How to Make a DIY Brooch Board to Display Your Vintage Brooches
I love vintage brooches, and I love to display them in my dressing room. My darling husband made a brooch board for me several years ago, and of course I've acquired several more brooches over the years, so it was time to make another DIY brooch board to house my new vintage beauties.
This is a really simple and inexpensive DIY project, and it's such a great way to display your vintage brooches. You can use just about any frame, I suggest thrifting one or maybe you have an old frame already that you aren't using.
I used cardboard for the backing, medium quilt batting Poly-Fil, and stretch velvet for the fabric.

Brilliant and doable. BUT ALSO…BRILLIANT NAME! Glambassador…genius!

[@rosebudadkins6803]

I made a beautiful lace pillow and pinned my broaches on it. It sits on my guest bed. The broaches go back to great grandmother, grandmother, mother, auntie and my childhood. Grandmother used to give me a jeweled broach for my birthdays. Unfortunately……she died when I was nine. So I have just a few from her. I love broaches as she did.

[@TheGlambassador]

What a lovely way to display such treasures.

[@huxwonder7588]

I love brooches too

[@angiegaryshort4745]

❤ Brooches! Pins! As i collected mine, i pinned them to a lamp ahade. Recently got rid of lamp, but kept the shade. I found your video when looking for new ideas to display! Thanks for your video. Brooches & pins are fun!! I love them all!! Especially vintage flower ones from the thrift store.🌝 🌻🌼 Your music is cool. 🎶🎵🎺 Enjoy your day! Make it amazing!

[@snookiedoo]

It looks like a giant brooch to put little brooches in☺

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh I love that!

[@Yana.Polyanichko]

Wow! The brilliant idea! Why it didn't come to my mind? ))) So beautiful and looks like it's not difficult to do! Awesome! I definitely will make this one for my brooches! Very beautiful! Thank you so much for video!

[@uniquelymadison]

Wow! It looks amazing! 😍 I will have to try my hand at making one sometime.

[@heatherwolf3825]

What a lovely frame and beautiful material for a broach board! I happen to be a quilter and used some scrap fabric with an old frame my husband found for me. I have 3 broach boards total, 1 large and 2 mini. I really enjoy displaying them and seeing them everyday besides wearing them. I always enjoy seeing what others have come up with. I've watched your other video about DDay reenactment in Conneaut Ohio, I live near there and was also up there that weekend, sorry I missed you! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGlambassador]

I’m sure I’ll need to make a few more boards in the future 😂. Maybe we’ll meet up at next years event.

[@22mendonca]

A wonderful project for a wonderful collection of brooches lovely! Xx

[@TheGlambassador]

Thank you! 😊

[@MirandaAdriaYT]

Thank you so much! This tutorial will definitely come in handy for my brooch collection. 😊

[@TheGlambassador]

I'm so glad!

[@KatHalfaker23]

This tutorial inspired me to see what I could do. I ended up thrifting fabric and an embroidery hoop and making a brooch board with those materials and poly fil! I can see how picture frames are an advantage because of the little tabs that help to secure the backing. I had to find another way. It involved an old used t shirt and hot glue. Lol

[@bellecarmichael2663]

I have been meaning to make something like this for years and just have never gotten around to it, I'm glad I got to watch your video before I made one :)

[@TheGlambassador]

You should make one, it’s simpler than you think and so much fun. 🥰

[@bellecarmichael2663]

@@TheGlambassador As soon as I find the right frame I will :)

[@SKNm83]

Well done 🎉

[@CollaborativeDog]

Excellent timing! I was just thinking about this.

[@TheGlambassador]

Fantastic!! I hope it helps.

[@ydrhmhr]

Looks terrific! Thanks for a great idea:)

[@TheGlambassador]

You are so welcome!

[@patkappes6140]

Awesome, 😍

[@christysmith1058]

Love this. It’s a real work of art!

[@TheGlambassador]

Thank you so much! I'm really happy with how it turned out.

[@tiffanybevis4251]

This came at a perfect time. I was just telling my husband last night that I wanted to make one of these so that all of my pretties weren't in a box 💜

[@TheGlambassador]

How wonderful, I hope it’s helpful for you.

[@TheLadyTWells]

This is a great idea. Now that you showed how easy it is to make one. I will be making one, very soon.

[@TheGlambassador]

Fantastic, I’m sure you’ll love it.

[@cynthialuna5786]

😊 Thanks 😊

[@TheGlambassador]

My pleasure!

[@gillesjubeault107]

I love it! This is very chic! Your brooches are so pretty! Thank you for the inspiration and sharing! Matilda.

[@winnieroberts6292]

A brilliant idea, I might make this on my day off. Thanks for the reminder to leave room for more brooches, of course 😍

[@patm.3912]

Well that was fun. So relaxing to watch you make the brooch holder, and even more fun to see your brooches on it!

[@Carmen-nq8ex]

Wonderful! I have been wanting to make one of these for a while and now I can. Thank you!😊

[@cemitchell6496]

Beautiful! Im looking for a frame similar to an oval frame that holds my dad's Air Force picture from 1950. I already have blue stretch velvet to co-cordinate with his background.

[@TheGlambassador]

How lovely! I hope you find one.

[@raquelnasser5290]

What a beautiful project Christine and so easy to make too! My daughter would love a frame like that. She's totally into Haunted Mansion look & vibes. Much love to you! ❤️

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh yes, this would be the perfect frame for Haunted Mansion vibes 🖤

[@Yana.Polyanichko]

Dear, Christine, you said that since your husband made a brooch board for you, your collection has grown ☺️, I really hope you will share with us your new items from this collection.❤️

[@TheGlambassador]

Yes, I plan to do another brooch sharing video soon.

[@Yana.Polyanichko]

@@TheGlambassador Such a great news 👏 I have watched your previous video about your collection so many times 🤩

[@charlottesometimes2020]

Love this. I have so many brooches and it seems a shame not to display them as art. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGlambassador]

It’s such a beautiful way to display your beauties.

[@junebarber8459]

All your brooches look wonderful. I suppose if you just use it for decoration, then you could use brooches which are NQP (not quite perfect). From my own experience, I know that some of these older brooches do dry out and shed their stones. I’m always sticking stones back in, that’s why I often buy pieces of old broken jewellery as they are a store of real vintage stones that can be pried out and used again. I love brooches also - I would walk around looking like a Christmas tree if I had my way … 😂

[@TheGlambassador]

These brooches are on display for wearing, not for decoration. I wear my brooches just about every day. I do have a framed tree made out of costume jewelry that my great uncle made for my great aunt, that is for decoration as they are glued onto the velvet backing

[@staticscoffee]

What about pins with butterfly backings? Would you poke that through the cardboard and connect it through the back like normal? Or would you need a different style display/board?

[@TheGlambassador]

I don’t fasten any of my brooches, but you absolutely could. Since there is enough padding underneath I just poke the pin right in. The padding combined with the velvet really holds the pin in place. It makes it easy to place and remove the brooches.

[@staticscoffee]

@@TheGlambassador ah okay! Thank you!

[@2Beautiess]

Ok I have the silliest question. I have ocd and the idea of pinning Brooches on my cloths makes me cringe bcs of holes and snags. I have purchased quite a few and can't seem to bring my self to use much. HELLLP lol

[@TheGlambassador]

Oh I’ve got you! You need a MagnaPin. It’s a small magnet that you attach one side to the brooch then you can just use the other small magnet to attach to your garment. Check out this Reel I did showing how it works. instagram.com/reel/ChzxhYVAwqY/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

[@sneakysusan831]

Hi! I have a question. When you push the pins in does it damage the actual pin. I just so scare it might damage it.

[@TheGlambassador]

No, not at all. The pin is just piercing the batting and the fabric. I’ve not had any damage to my brooches using this brooch board.
