A green crafter myself, I have a special place in my heart for crafts made from things that would otherwise be thrown away. Which is why I’m in love with these flower brooches made from pistachio shells by Rebecca of ReLoved (they are also adorable!). Make one to wear as a brooch like she does or take your own spin on things by turning it into a headband, messenger bag pin or a magnet!
