By the Victory Day holiday, everyone traditionally complements their clothes with St. George ribbons. As a rule, they create a loop, securing it with a clip, but you can make a unique and special brooch.

To create an Asterisk brooch, you need to:
- a segment of the St. George ribbon.
- scissors.
- lighter.
- glue gun.
- one silver bead.
- steel billet for brooches.
- satin ribbons of three colors: orange, red and black.
- a spool of thread and a needle for manual work.

Creation of a brooch.
First, we prepare ribbons 5 cm wide, take ribbons of black and orange colors and prepare parts from them. All sides should be 5 cm.

Now from the orange and black blanks we create petals for the main flower. To do this, we add each detail into a triangle, using addition.

Then we turn the triangle the longest side up, while holding the part around the corner opposite. Further, the corner on the right side, gently bend to the center, it is important to monitor the complete combination of all sections.

On the left side, we perform the same action, precisely combining the slices.

Now all the slices have been assembled on two sides of the part; we carefully burn them with the lighter’s spark.

We get such a detail, we create them from black and orange blanks.

Then we remove them away from work, proceeding to the preparation of parts for the star. To do this, take the squares from the red ribbon and also create a triangle from it.

Then we fold in the middle two more times, getting a triangle of several additions.

Now thread the thread into the eye of the needle and lay a simple stitch along the entire edge with raw cuts.

Then tightly tighten the seam so that the fabric folds into small folds. We fasten the line with several brackets and cut the thread. Slices of the detail were collected at one point, they are scorched by a flame, soldering in one lump.

We get such a petal, 5 pieces of similar details will be required.

Now we proceed to the connection of the main flower from black and orange details, which are temporarily laid aside.

Alternately alternating black and orange details, glue them together, putting them in the line of folds in their center. For the connection we use hot glue.

Gradually we form an even flower from them.

Further from red details with sharp corners we collect an asterisk.

Now we glue these two parts together, laying one on the other, in the center of the star we attach a bead.

Now, from the St. George ribbon, we prepare the basis for the brooch. To do this, from a piece of tape length of 31 cm make a large loop. We roughly divide the entire length in half. 3 cm away from the middle, gently bend the edge on the left side.
