Make Your Own Seasonal Brooch
March 10th, 2010 by Joseph L. Flatley No comments »You change your clothes with the seasons, so why not change your jewellery, too? Cat Davison shows you how to usher in spring with a weather-inspired brooch
Spring is most definitely in the air, and with the daffodils comes the squally showers. I don’t really mind the changeable weather – it certainly makes a good subject for jewellery.
The secret to this brooch is the combination of colours, textures and materials. Pepper the front of the brooch with different-sized buttons, bells or beads to give a more ’sleety’ or ’snowy’ feel, and try experimenting with different types of felt and different lengths and widths of ribbon.
Dangling gold or silver chain is also quite effective in conveying sheet rain, and gives the brooch a bit of bling and a lot of movement.
How long will it take?
Between 20-30 minutes.
What you need
Three different-coloured pieces of felt
A pair of scissors
A needle and thread
A brooch pin
Ribbons
Buttons for embellishment
What to do
1. On the back of one of the pieces of felt, draw a cloud. Cut this out and flip it over.
2. Place your cloud shape on to another piece of felt and carefully cut another shape around it with your scissors. Try to leave a few millimetres between both shapes. Repeat with your third piece of felt.
3. Separate your cloud shapes and sew your brooch pin to the back of the middle shape.
4. Sew any ribbons to the front side of the middle panel. Take care to not make any stitches too close to the edge (they need to be covered by the front panel later).
5. Place the front panel on top of the middle one and, if you want to, embellish it with buttons, sewing them through the front on to the middle panel.
6. Press your brooch pin hard down against the last shape (the biggest one at the back) until you make two small indentations.
7. Cut holes where these indentations are and make sure you can thread your opened brooch pin through them. The brooch pin should be sandwiched between the middle and back pieces of felt and have just the needle and hook pointing out of the holes.
8. Combine all the pieces and sew together around the perimeter.
