You will need:
-scraps of fabric you like
-needle and thread
-scissors
-cotton wool
-brooch pins or safety pins

Step1
Cut three circles from your fabric of choice.And cut a circle from the fabric scrap with the pattern.I used an unvanted cupcake patterned shirt and an old pajama bottom for the patterns. :)

Now sew it on the middle sized circle.I used up a piece of a spider web patterned bandanna.

Step4
This is the last circle now,the base.Put a layer of cotton wool between the two circles of fabric.This will give the brooch a fuller look.

Optional
If you don't have a brooch base like I did,just use a safety pin instead.Cut a piece of felt a sew it over the safety pin.
