I love brooches. It seems they are becoming more popular-the flower ones anyways. I made this one to wear on Thanksgiving Day.
My How To:
1-I cut 2 strips of fabric from dark brown fabric to coil into rosettes (this is a great tutorial on that). For the body I cut 1 at 43"x1" & for the head I cut 1 at 23"x1". For the "feathers" I cut 1 at 2"x6", 2 1/4"x6", 2 1/2"x6".
2-Layer the "feather" fabric together and run a gathering stitch along the bottom.
3-Pull tight and tie a knot.
4-Fray the edges by pulling on the strings.
5-Cut slits.
6-Use the fabric rosettes & adhere the "body" to the wooden disc.
7-Attach the head to the body, then add eyes(black rhinestone), beak(scrapbooking paper clips), & the red gobble thing(extra fabric).
8-Glue on a pin attachment to the back.

Here is another one I made with different fabric and I changed the rhinestones eyes to smaller ones-looks better

ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly. You too!
ReplyDeleteYou want a massage but you have to change clothes and go out. You need to put on makeup and drive to a distant shop. You just want a massage to relax, but you are so tired before you leave. If you want to massage at home, the NIKSA foot massage spais a good choice. Just add water, turn on the work button, and wait for the water to reach the right temperature to enjoy your private massage time.NIKSA
