Your stash of felt scraps is perfect for whipping up crafty accessories. Here’s how to make a pinwheel brooch using a couple of pieces of scrap felt and a vintage button.

I’m on a recycled felt crafting kick these days! Last week, it was a peacock fascinator, and this week I dipped into the old felt stash again to whip up a sweet, little pinwheel brooch.
