i think i would just cut squares of velvet and velveteen - piece them together - mount the piece on something what would support thd brooches - and frame it.

nothing fancy - but each solid piece could sbow off one of the pons.

I made a pillow and pinned all my broaches and scarf pins to it. I have a big walk in closet and keep it there so I can see it every day. Just for me.

I don't have any velvet or velveteen, I'm thinking I can start checking thrift stores for clothing made with it so I can harvest enough in different colors.

Before I got it made I discovered that taking the pins off the tag backing or out of their original boxes devalued them so never made it. I will see if I can find the name of the pattern.

Looking forward to when you find it!!

This may sound crazy, but because of the weight of the broaches, what about using denim instead of batting with velvet or whatever fabric you want for the top. Denim would definitely be a strong enough fabric to hold a heavy broach. You could even us the denim for the top and make a crazy quilt and decorate the denim with lac ribbons etc. ust a thought.

Denim I have plenty of! Using it to add strength to the hanging is a great idea.
