Quick Tips
1. Make sure to put your brooches in a proper sequential order; otherwise it can look a little messy. And subsequently, would hamper the overall look of the necklace.
2. Do not go for too many brooches at a time. It could make it look like just a clutter of brooches.
3. If you are going for one brooch at the center, go for a big one, otherwise not. If you are going for more, it would be advisable to choose small cute ones.
Things to watch out for
1. It is essential that you pin the brooches firmly to the rope or string or else they could fall off while you flutter in the party. The pin of the brooch can even prick you badly. You don’t want to end up hurting yourself while enjoying your little merrymaking.
2. Do not go for too expensive brooches with precious gems. You will be losing many of them, if in case, your brooch falls off.
