Master class of brooches “Emily”

Decoration for clothes made of plastic suede, 14 cm high. This brooch will decorate both a jacket and a dress.

This bouquet consists of three roses and two buds. And for work we take materials:
- acrylic paints.
- foam rubber in red and green colors.
- wet wipes.
- scissors.
- toothpick.
- lighter.
- wire.
- soft thin green paper for creativity.
- “Moment” glue.
- plastic sheet imprint.
- decoration made of red beads on wire.
- iron base for brooches.
- glue gun.
- food foil.

To start making, let's draw 4 petal templates. The shape is like three circles joined together at the center at an equal distance. They only have different sizes in diameter. We will use 9, 8, 7 and 6 cm. And for the leaf we draw a boat 5 cm long and about three cm wide. But in addition the leaf needs a small leg.

We take red plastic suede and, using templates with a toothpick, outline three parts of two large sizes and one part each of the remaining two blanks. Preferably cut in a circle, leaving the trimmings needed later.

Now we take black acrylic paint and use a damp cloth to tint the upper edges of the petal circles on both sides.

You also need to tint 9 scraps, having previously trimmed the thin edges.

Next we will give the petals a new shape. We will use a lighter. For each individual petal, slightly warm the painted edges and fold them like an accordion. Then we scroll only the upper part of the blanks with our fingers and straighten them a little.

And for the three largest petal circles, we additionally warm the middle of the workpiece and, while the suede is warm, make a depression with our thumbs. It is necessary to take into account that their direction is from the nutria.

All the parts are ready, let's move on to assembly, let's start with the buds, for which we use blanks with a diameter of 6 and 7 cm. We fold a droplet of foil about 2 cm high, secure it to a wire 14 cm long.

Then, using a heated gun, glue three parts of the petal circle onto the foil base one by one. It will be necessary to cover the entire base and leave no space in the upper part, secure tightly.

The buds may turn out different in the upper folds. Additionally, it follows that we wrap a thickening from strips of thin paper under the buds.

Now let's move on to assembling the rose. Take a couple of petal circles of different shapes and 4 colored trimmings. And the base of the flower will be foil, folded in the shape of an egg and secured to a wire.

Using a glue gun, we first attach the trimmings to the top of the future rose, arranging them in a spiral, making a closed middle.

Then we pierce the petal circle without bends, lift it up along the wire and glue it to the bottom of the foil. We place the petals with one part overlapping the other. Making a closed rose bud.

Next we attach the second blank with a voluminous center.The petals should be staggered relative to the first. And we apply glue only to the middle of the petals so that the rose opens up a little.

All that remains is to use a lighter to bend some corners, making curls from the middle.

But there are three roses in the composition, which we make in the same way.

Now all that remains is to cover the stems with green paper.

Let's move on to the green blanks. We cut out 8 leaves with a leg and a circle with a diameter of 5 cm from suede.

To give the shape of the veins, we will use a plastic imprint of a rose leaf. If such a device is not available, veins can be drawn on the sheet with a toothpick. We simply heat the workpiece and apply it to the mold, pressing all the veins with our fingers.

Then we further process the greens with paint darker in tone. We use a napkin and run it along the leaves on both sides without strong pressure. The veins remain light. Additionally, we process the cut circle and three squares, 2 cm in size. The color is not monochromatic.

Now we take semicircles and make cuts along the rounded side, similar to grass. Then we put the cut edge together and scroll it with our fingers, we get a new shape of the workpiece.

And such sepals need to be glued to the buds. They should cover the thickenings made under the bud.

And all that remains for these blanks is to tint the stems a little with a dark color.

Now we process the rose adhesives. You need to fold the green squares twice and cut the cloves, then also roll them with your fingers.

Now we attach them to the bottom of each rose. And the flower stems should be darkened with green paint.
There are blanks of leaves left, we will plant them on the wire. A rose leaf consists of three leaves, like a twig. And for this we take a wire of 8 cm and two pieces of six cm each.

For convenience, we make a fold in the middle of each leaf. Then use the tip of the wire to make two stitches along the sheet. Starting from the leg and moving to the middle, and then leave the free edge on the front side, which we glue with “Moment”.

Next, cover the stem of each leaf with paper. And we collect 3 leaves together, we also process them, making a common stem.

Then you just need to straighten the leaves. And the green parts are all ready. It turns out two branches and 2 single leaves.

We only add tinting to the stems with dark paint.

Now the most interesting part of the work remains. This is an assembly of the overall composition. We take two buds, 3 roses, leaves.

Additionally, you should take some jewelry. You need a sprig of red beads on a wire and three bunches of shiny suede sticks.

The buds have long stems that will serve as the basis for the entire composition. Let's get started. We glue a green decoration under the buds. Then we connect the two stems with wire together in the middle of the main segment.

Further along the front side we place two roses near the buds at different heights. We secure the same with wire.

Now we attach a green decoration to a branch of beads, and place this bunch between two roses. And on the wrong side we put two branches of leaves. And all this should be well secured.

Now this first winding of wire should be carefully sealed with paper and tinted with green paint.

And in this place we will further place the third rose. It needs to be secured below with wire.

We are left with two single leaves, which we place on the third rose and attach, and cover the junction again with green paper.

The bouquet is collected. We got a lot of stems, choose a few at our discretion and wind them into spirals.

Now only one detail remains.A special pin for brooches will need to be secured on the wrong side. We will use wire and a glue gun.

We apply it in the area of the first twist of the wires. We place it at an angle and thread the wire onto the face of the bouquet. We bend the third flower a little and twist the wire well, cutting off the extra tails. We lubricate this place with a gun and press the bent rose there. And under the pin itself you should also fill it well with glue.
