Scissors, needle and thread to match the flower, beads or small beads, candle, matches, safety pin about 3 cm. Fabric - nylon, polyester, satin or any other synthetic fabric. This is important, since the artificial fiber melts over a fire and, thus, the edge of the fabric is processed (melted), and it does not crumble during use of the finished product. Natural silk or other natural fabric, in this case, will not work, since it will not melt in the flame, and, accordingly, the effect of a bent petal will not be obtained.
The flower brooch consists of 9 petals - circles of fabric, the smallest with a diameter of 4 cm, and then all the other petals with a difference of 1 cm. Thus, the diameter of the last, largest one is 12 cm.When finished, the flower will be 10 cm in diameter.
To process the edges of the petals, you need a candle flame, and if you have experience, you can simply burn the petals on the flame of a match. The edge of the fabric, melting, bends, forming a petal with unevenly curved edges in a shape reminiscent of a saucer. It is recommended to first try on a test petal or piece of paper how exactly the fabric is melted. Determine the approximate distance to the flame at which the edge bends slightly inward.
All petals obtained during flame treatment must be stacked in ascending order. This stack of “saucers” forms a flower.
After the flower is formed, secure it with a couple of stitches in the center so that the petals do not move. After this, you can fill the middle of the flower with beads or beads.
Sew beads or beads into the center tightly to each other, forming the center of a flower with a diameter of 2 cm.
After the center of the flower is ready, without tearing off the thread, sew a safety pin on the back side of the flower. The brooch is ready!
Using the remaining fabric and a flower brooch, you can decorate the blouse.
If you have a gloomy or boring headband, then a flower brooch will update it and decorate your hairstyle.
