Even a small brooch, especially made by your own hands, will create a spectacular accent of your image. The most common material for making brooches is beads. Simple, as well as more intricate weaving will turn individual glasses into interesting patterns and figures.
Book Blue
For work, you will need the following materials:
- Metal fastener
- Wire
- Glue "moment"
- A piece of felt and genuine leather
- The needle for beads
- Crystal
- Beads of several colors
- Lavsan thread
Stages of execution:
- Take a flap of felt and mix the contours and the internal elements of the butterfly on it - wings and abdomen. In the central part of the motive, sew a larger crystal - a butterfly body.
- Firm the abdomen near the beads. To do this, one by one string one bead (No. 10) on the needle and fix it on the fabric.
- Make a butterfly head - sew a large rounded bead. You also framed it near beads (smaller than at the previous stage, for example, No. 15).
- The same bead (No. 15) sew the outline of the upper wings. The best choice of fixing the beads, as in the previous stages, will be the seam “back the needle”. Next, sew the internal lines of the wings, and then proceed to the design of the contour of the lower wings.
- Now that the circuit is completely outlined, proceed to fill the wings. When filling out the internal sections of the upper wings, use large but flattened beads. At the same time, fix each bead with smaller glass. Having stitched in a chaotic manner.
- Next, fill the corners of the upper wings, fixing white pearls in them. Loose a darker bead nearby. You also fill the voids in random order with beads of various colors.
- When designing the lower wings, place one white pearl in the center of each petal. Surround it next to the smaller beads of a contrasting color. On the remaining field, fix the randomly colored small beads.
- When the butterfly is ready, along the entire circuit, lay a number of beads using the “back needle” seam.
- To form the antennae, a piece of wire is praised through the central bead (butterfly head), string 1 small beads and pass the wire back through the hole. Throw several beads on each “Usyk” and “go” with tails in felt. Fix the tip, cut off the excess.
- Cut the felt on the contour of the butterfly. Prepare a butterfly template from a cardboard, retreating from the edge by 3 mm. Glue the paper base to the felt.
- Next, cut out a similar leather template, with the only difference that the leather base will be 1-2 mm larger than the butterfly. Having made neat slots (slightly above the center), blow the fastener.
- Fasten the leather base and the butterfly itself, performing the seam using beads along the edge of the product.
Brooch Pavil Pavil
To make this unusual and bright decoration you will need:
- A hairpin for a brooch
- Kusachki (pliers)
- Transparent bead balls
- Glass is oblong in shape
- Beads of various shades
- Large central bead
- Several options for a golden tint wire - thickness 0.3 mm, 1 mm and 2 mm
Stages of execution:
- Take the thickest wire and pass it through a large (central) bead. Ignore the wire, wrapping the folds of bends with a thinner (0.3 mm) wire thread.
- You put on several small beads on it, thereby filling the area between the wire and the central pearl.
- Further, starting from the base, perform a zigzag weaving between external and internal circles, stringing small beads on a thin wire (0.3 mm). Periodically (at your discretion) we weave larger oblong glasses and round transparent beads.
- When the first circle is finished, you go around the resulting canvas with another oval of 2 mm wire. Using a 1 mm thick wire as in the previous step, fill the space between the loop 2 and 3 with a zigzag step.
- The “tail” of the pen leave arbitrary length. Bend the tail with a loop and wrap the rod with wire (1 mm).
- Start the design of the feathers. Take the wire (1 mm), string the desired amount of beads on it, make the thread in the opposite direction and fasten it to the main canvas. To do this, make a round around the third ring. Next, remove the wire and string the beads again. Repeat these actions until you do all the feathers. Next, sink on the tail and continue weaving, wrapping the wire around the base. Try to skip the thread between the wire turns.
- Cut the base of the brooch from the skin. You make slots in it and stretch the fastener through them. Small the back of the brooch with glue and fix the leather base. If desired, the edge of the product can be flashed.
