Step 1read my felting guide first
(once they approve the publishing)
<br>
so step one:
get cho shizz togetha! -
Step 2okay well you should kinda know what your doing if you've read my felting how-to
<br>
now just figure out what shape/object you want your brooch to be =]
<br>
usually i just look through mags, comic books, or just make things that i saw at a store
or just start making a random colorful abstract shape
it doesnt have to be perfect or make any sense -
Step 3once youve found your inspiration
make it!
<br>
the smaller and stiffer the better
lol
<br>
and you can always sew beads into it, add glitter, threads, whatever
be imaginative! -
Step 4finally just add the brooch backing by sewing it on the back of your little creation
<br>
or just use a safety pin to stick it to things
:D<br>
<- made these for my sister
ooo i havent thought of using that before :]
i use some weird plastic styrofoam and it starts to get squishy and shed when i use it alot :/
um im not sure how long the needles can last
until it breaks i guess haha
