- Difficulty: Medium
-
I represent the process of creating Clover brooch to your attention.
Materials:
1. Silk Shibori ribbon.
2. Golden Rivoli, 14 mm.
3. Felt, thread (dense, but very thin), a small hoop.
4. Seed beads, any you like. I used Czech seed beads and Japanese Miyuki, Delica, and Toho.
5. Light green, golden tube beads (Toho).
Nothing seems to be forgotten! Let's start :)
First, draw a cloverleaf on green felt.
Fix felt in the hoop to carefully sew the shibori ribbon to felt.
Sew the ribbon and decorate the edge:
Embroider the edge, I used size 15:
Sew the Rivoli round. I picked 36 Delica beads, made a ring picking beads through one. Then added two more rows:
Insert the crystal. Add one more row from the backside:
And sew the Rivoli at each bead, Add some more decorative element:
Use your imagination, trust in your flights of fancy:
Fill the empty spaces:
Cut out the clover.
Glue it to a thick fabric and to a piece of leather:
Add a brooch pin in advance.
Glue:
I used Golden Czech seed beads to treat the edge.
Ready!
