Description

It was my Nana's birthday this week and her name is Rose, so I decided to make her a matching rose brooch.

Instructions

  1. Small img 9262

    Draw a basic flower template on to paper. This should be roughly the size you'd like your finished brooch to be and trace around it on to felt.

  2. Small img 9263

    Draw a slightly smaller flower inside the original template, cut out and trace around this on to felt.

  3. Small img 9264

    Repeat twice more, so that you have four flowers and cut a long strip of felt. Cut a scalloped edge along the strip, tapering to a point at one end.

  4. Small img 9265

    Arrange and layer the flowers on top of each other.

  5. Small img 9266

    Thread a needle with red felt and make a stitch in the center of your flower.

  6. Small img 9267

    Squeeze together the flower at each corner and secure with a few stitches to give the flower a 3D shape.

  7. Small img 9269

    Roll the strip of felt up so that it looks like a rose bud.

  8. Small img 9270

    Stitch in to the center of the flower.

  9. Small img 9271

    Cut two leaves from green felt. Snip around the edges to give a jagged edge.

  10. Small img 9272

    Fold each leaf in half and stitch up the centre to give a 3D leaf shape.

  11. Small img 9273

    Stitch the leaves on to the back of your rose.

  12. Small img 9274

    Cut a rectangle of green felt for the stalk.

  13. Small img 9275

    Thread a needle with green thread. Roll up the rectangle and stitch along the open edge - leaving a small part unstitched at the top.

  14. Small img 9276

    Place the unstitched edge neatly on to the back of your rose and stitch in place.

  15. Small img 9277

    Sew on a brooch back.

    Glue a couple of clear crystals on to the rose to give the appearance of rain drops and you're all done!
