How to repair a Bakelite Cherry Brooch
Making Bakelite Jewelry
It seems that DIY Bakelite jewelry isn't a new thing. This vintage cherry brooch was made to look like a Bakelite brooch way back when. It has 6 wooden cherries on a carved wooden log base with the same lacquer dipped stems as Bakelite brooches. The pronged pin back is one of those sturdy oldies too!

I love cherries!
ReplyDeleteAh that was a little confusing, but kinda a good way to keep track of things! As cliche as others say cherries are, I still love 'em. Maybe because they're my favourite fruit to eat? I just generally love edible looking jewellery haha!
ReplyDeleteI love cherries and this brooch is so cute! It would be perfect on the black and white check blouse I'm wearing today. lol!

ReplyDeleteCute brooch. Once I am done with my thesis, I will have to try the tutorial
ReplyDeleteCherries are fabulous, summery, and timelessly cute! Maybe it's because I grew up on a street that had cherry trees on it (and thus ate scads of them in the summer), but I've always had a penchant for anything featuring this cheerful crimson fruit.
ReplyDeleteFabulous giveaway, dear gal, thank you for holding it!
