This is an adorable little brooch which is just perfect for Christmas.
Made in the 1940's, these popular Make Do and Mend brooches were made using plastic thonging, or in some cases wire covered with plastic, which was wound or crocheted onto a small metal ring and then trimmed with a central decoration, all fastened onto a collar bar.
This piece features an oval frame crocheted with red thonging and trimmed with a trio of flowers in red and green.
A really pretty example which would look great on any lapel.
