Fabric brooch for a dress
A simple master class will allow you to make a delicate flower without the use of special tools. This kind of work takes a little time. Even beginner craftswomen can do it. To get a neat rose, you need to follow the instructions.
What you will need
For the accessory you will need satin fabric of any color. You can take other material that will suit the dress. If there are scraps left in the house after sewing, they can also be used for work. For the leaves, thin lace 15 cm wide is purchased; its color should match the satin. You need to buy an adhesive web 4 cm wide from the store.
The work also requires materials:
- gelatin;
- button;
- thin wire;
- corrugated paper of the same color with lace.
For the center of the rose, take a small piece of foam rubber and beads. Fasten the flower elements using a glue gun. To give the desired shape to the parts, use a candle, tweezers, scissors, and an iron. It is also worth preparing PVA glue.
Instructions, sequence of actions, description of the process
Before work you need to starch the fabric. You can draw a rose pattern yourself or use a ready-made version. For one flower you will need three types of petals.
ATTENTION! All elements are cut on the bias.
From the smallest pattern, 10 parts are cut out. You will also need 12 medium-sized petals and 14 pieces of larger parts. You need to cut 10 leaves from lace and 2 parts from satin.
The petals need to be stretched a little from the center to the sides. The tip of the tweezers is heated over a candle flame. This tool is used to curl the edges of the petals.
Then you need to cut six pieces 12 cm long from a thin wire. A strip 6 mm wide is made from corrugated paper, and then the wires are wrapped with it.
A satin leaf is placed on the cotton fabric, wrong side up, and wire is placed on top. Then these parts are covered with adhesive web and lace element. Then you need to cover it all with cotton cloth and iron it. Afterwards all that remains is to cut off the excess.
IMPORTANT! Do not heat the iron too much to avoid damaging the leaves. It only takes 30 seconds to glue the parts together.
Lace leaves are made in the same way, only lace is used instead of a satin element. Now you need to collect two branches. Each of them will have three sheets.
For the middle, use a button. A wire is pulled into the hole in the leg. Then it is twisted under the button head, and the excess is cut off.Foam rubber is placed on the part's cap and secured with thread. Afterwards, the middle is covered with a piece of satin, and the excess fabric is carefully trimmed with scissors. The resulting part is embroidered with beads.
Using a glue gun, the petals are connected in pairs, then they are glued clockwise to the middle. At the bottom of the corolla you need to cut the wire, and then attach the leaves. Then glue the satin circle with a pin.
Result
The finished flower can be used in a single copy. If you make several corollas of different sizes, you will get an original brooch. A beautiful fabric accessory will decorate the outfit and update the dress. An artificial flower will be a wonderful gift for your mother or sister for any occasion.
Tips for making brooches
Before starting work, the fabric is prepared. To do this, dissolve 1.5 tablespoons of gelatin in 1 glass of water. Cover the container with a lid and leave for one hour. Then, in an enamel pan, you need to heat the solution without bringing it to a boil. You should wait until it cools down a little and then starch the fabric. After drying, the material is ready for use.
Flowers are obtained from different types of fabrics. During production, several shades are often used for the corolla. This rose will look natural.
If you can't find corrugated paper in the right color, you can paint it. For this, gouache or acrylic paint is used, and then a layer of PVA glue is applied.
A little imagination and patience and you will get a beautiful decoration.
