I haven’t been feeling the card making recently, I don’t know why but it’s a craft that has been neglected in the Made Marian house of late. However there are some important birthdays coming up so I said I’d better come up with something inspirational soon or I’d have to resort to buying a card, something I haven’t done in well over a year.
So inspired by the birthday cards with badges that we all got as kids, I decided to combine my crochet skills with my card making and came up with these.


The crochet circles on the front are actually brooches, so they can be removed from the card and worn by the lucky recipient. The circles were super easy to make. I cut out a small circle from a piece of felt, attached the crochet circle and the button to the front and then sewed on the brooch back. Easy Peasy ![]()

They look lovely.
Marian, do you stitch the button through to the brooch back in one go? It makes the brooch back stronger.
