Make leather brooch yourself

material

  • solid leather, gold colored on one side (about 60 x 15 cm)
  • softer suede in black (40 x 15 cm)
  • leather glue
  • 1 brooch pin scissors or cutter
  • ruler
  • sewing needle
  • Sewing thread in black

How to do it

  1. Cut out the golden leather 2 x the big star (1 x from the right, 1 x from the left / see template below) and 1 strip (40 x 12 cm).
  2. Cut out of black suede 1 x 25 cm x 9 cm, 1 x 10 cm x 11 cm and 1 small star. Lay all 3 strips of leather lengthwise in the break and, as with a comb, cut approx. 2 to 3 mm thick fringes from the break to approx. 0.5 cm to the leather cut edge, as this is the only way to create loops and no open fringes!
  3. When the loop fringes are cut, glue both leather edges together with leather glue. Then glue the smaller black fringe part to the lower cut edge and roll it up as tightly as possible. Make sure that the leather edges are exactly on top of each other. Let dry. Then apply the adhesive to the larger black velor fringe section and continue to roll over the resulting tassel. To do that with the golden fringe part. This is how a flower is made.
  4. Cut a circle out of black leather in the size of the flower underside. Sew on the brooch pin on the circle, not quite in the middle, but a bit higher up, otherwise the brooch will overhang later.
  5. All stars are provided with leather adhesive, the 2 golden stars on left side stick together and stick the black star in the middle of the top of the glued star. Glue the recessed star at the edge and on the right side with glue, stick to the lower edge of the flower. In the star position, make sure that the pin is on top, otherwise the brooch will tip forward.
