Hello Lovelies,
So here it is as promised, my tutorial on how to make a pearl brooch with a rocking horse. I was inspired by Meadham Kirchoff and their super cute and funky style. I'm so in love with everything they create!! I'm such a Meadham groupie!! I love their use of pastel colors, tulle, lace, and cute ribbons.
Most of the materials you will be able to find them at the dollar store. I bought the pearl string and rocking horse in the baby shower/birthday section. Also, you can find pearls at Michael's or just use an old pearl necklace. Make sure that the hot glue you are using says that it can glue wood, fabric, and metal. The hot glue I used I found it at Michael's in their floral section.
So let's get started!
Ta-daaa!! This is what your pearl brooch should look like!
You can wear it on your blouse or you can use it as a collar clip!
Please let me know if yo have any questions, comment below.

DIFFA is the one night event where the entire Dallas fashion industry comes together to raise funds to support AIDS research.This year the entire concept of DIFFA was renovated, leaving behind the denim jacket and introducing Le Smoking jacket. Introduced in 1966 by Yves Saint Laurent, Le Smoking is a tailored tuxedo jacket for women, which brings the traditional male tailoring to the feminine form. This year top name designers created one-of-a-kind couture Smoking jackets to be auctioned at DIFFA.
Here is a little sneak-peak of what happened behind the scenes!

One of my favorite photographers "Tim Walker" often uses balloons as props for his editorial photo shoots. I absolutely love his use of natural light, and amazing props.
