Vintage Handmade
Where can I buy vintage-style brooches to make bridal fascinators?
I’d like to start making and selling them on etsy.com and I can’t seem to find them anywhere! Here is an example of what I’m looking for (the metal piece in the middle):

You can find a lot of these at yard sales or thrift stores (Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.). Estate sales are actually the best place, it is when an old person dies or has to move out of their house and their family sells all of their items. There are also some that you can buy at Michael’s, but are a little expensive – they can be found near the jewelry making isle. Also you can find some online but may be quite expensive because they have actual diamonds/jewels, here are some links:

Also, if you would like to make these style flowers, you can also use earings for the centers. I have personally done this and they turn out just as nice. Good Luck!
