Hello, friends! Today we make a lavender brooch, very fashionable this season, not a simple one but a lush one
Mark the felt crosswise with a gel pen, draw the first twig
Apply a drop of glue to the bottom of the frame with a toothpick, glue to the felt to fix the rhinestones
And focusing on the first twig, form the second and third. Sew on rhinestones
Draw the "leg" of the bouquet
Sew on the rhinestone chain: unbend the caps of the crystal at the end of the chain, remove the crystal and the frame itself, we have a small letter "T", which will help us in sewing the tip of the chain
We deduce the needle in 2 mm from the lilac rhinestone
Sew the chain, first grab the thread between the first and second crystal, and then sew the very end for our little letter "T"
Sew the chain to the end of the stems, the next crystal is disassembled and removed from the frame
Just sew the second part of the chain
Try on the rope, cut to the desired length.
Stringing a piece of twine on a thread with a needle (approximately, like a bugle or a long bead), sew
The rope we have arched, grab it in the middle – in the narrowest place of the bouquet
Just sew the second segment of the rope
Again, try on the rope on the stems, cut, sew
The stems arch, grab them together with a thread in the middle, not pulling very much, only to get a loop of thread held them together
The quadrangular groove is very shiny. Who likes it, leave it so, and I like to muffle a strong shine – I add to the stems of low beads of the fifteenth size (I type them on the thread in 4 additions) - to give rigidity and smoothness to the lowest)
And now the fun begins! We will give our bouquet fluffy lavender. Collect everything that is in your purple beaded farm. Will fit all different size beads, sequins, roundels, bicones – all!
I chose Rondeli 3x4 mm Violet metallic, sequins-asterisks and 3 mm, lilac beads fifteenth size. You can instead take rondels faceted bicone beads-eighth the size, any other small beads in different shades of purple.
Large gaps between rhinestones close beads larger. Output the needle in the middle of the lumen, dial 4 beads of size 15, 1 bead of size 11, Rondel, 1 bead of size 11, 1 bead of size 15. We return, without passing the last bead with a needle, so that we get such a peculiar stamen.
According to the same principle, we make a stamen with a sequin-star and a pink sequin 3 mm
Embroider in the same way all three twigs, and make the binding of the bouquet (as well as beaded stems-thread in 4 additions for rigidity and smoothness). Cute fuzzy turned out, right?
Proceed to the processing of the wrong side. Cut the felt on the edge of our embroidery (carefully, do not damage the threads of embroidery! I usually leave 1 mm of felt, this after processing the edge looks better than if I cut the felt completely). We trace our lavender pencil on a piece of thick paper (I have a Whatman), cut, retreating inside 2-3 mm from the edge (slender shadow of our bouquet, mark the side where the embroidery is adjacent to the wrong side (this is especially important for symmetrical products, it is easy to confuse the sides, then you have to cut the edges)
Cut holes under the clasp, on a piece of leather mark them (mark up)
Cuts holes in leather and put a thin layer of glue to our seal to the membrane, insert the missed glue a pin
And from above accurately we paste an embroidery (it is important that edges of the sealant did not coincide with edges of an embroidery – for this purpose, actually, and cut out "slender" copy of a bouquet)
And now – a life hack! I have made such a device: two layers of thick corrugated cardboard glued to each other, in the upper slots are made to the size of fasteners for brooches. The underside on such a device turns out to be perfectly smooth.
We impose our bouquet on the cardboard, so that the pin gets into the slot, cover the top with a thick cloth or a couple of layers of felt – and under a small press for a couple of hours.
After the bouquet has dried, cut the leather about 2 mm from the edge.
We will process the region in two ways – Russian and American. The leg of the bouquet will be processed in the so-called American way, since in it the beads fall on the hole and the edge turns out to be narrower. We introduce a needle between the skin and felt, a knot of thread is hidden between them.
Strung one bead size 11, and pierce the leather with a needle from the inside out, bringing it to the front side next to the embroidery.
We pass the needle beads from the embroidery, tighten, so that the beads lay down, tightly pressed to the embroidery, on the hole.
Again strung beads, pierce the skin from the inside out, remove the needle next to the bouquet, pass the beads, tighten. So sheathe the entire leg.
We begin to sheathe the flowers. Strung purple beads 11 size, from the inside pierce our design is available
In the formed loop on ourselves we carry out a needle, without passing through beads, we tighten that beads laid down on a side
So sheathe the rest of the bouquet.
Russian method is good because the edge can be additionally aligned, passing the thread again from inside the beads around the edge and pull them. Which we do
Add splendor and the edge of the bouquet. We type two beads of the fifteenth size, a sequin, again two beads of the fifteenth size, and we pass a needle through one bead of the edge into the next.
The result is a triangle with a sequin on the top. Such triangles sheathe the entire lilac edge, fasten the thread.
Well, admire the result!
