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 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.

Marty Michelle has a pattern for a wall hanging that would be perfect. I have it and all the material to make one for my son's Olympic pins. 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.

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.
