Soft plush souvenir decorated with a rose

Materials we use when making a gift:

some red plush.
needle and thread.
glue "Moment".
scissors.
thick white thread.
small beads on a string.
brocade ribbon 0.6 cm wide.
medium-sized mother-of-pearl beads.
braid with rhinestones.
plastic leaves in red and silver.
plastic suede with glitter 2 mm thick.
iron.
toothpick.
filler for the heart.

Let's start making the heart. From the fabric we cut out two pieces of the desired shape measuring 7 x 9 cm. And sew them with a needle and thread using small stitches, leaving a hole for turning inside out. And when the heart is turned to the front side, you should fill it through this segment and carefully sew it up. The density of the toy should not be very soft. And if you wish, you can additionally embroider the words: “I love you.”

Now we move on to decorating the heart itself. We cut 5 strips of thick white thread and attach beads to one edge of each piece. You just need to make a knot, coat it with glue and pull it inside the bead. Then pass these 5 blanks with the free edge through a larger bead.Next, we determine the length of all five threads; it is advisable to place them at different heights. And then we tie a common knot, which we also glue into a large bead. We securely attach this entire structure to the sharp lower part of the heart.

Now, with two strips of rhinestones on the braid, we close the seam on the plush base, starting from the large mother-of-pearl part.

Next we will continue to decorate the upper part of the heart. We collect a small bunch of curls from brocade and fasten it with thread, which we use to sew it into the chosen place.

Nearby we add a folded figure of eight from small beads on a thread. Glue it well.

But the decorative shiny leaves will need to be sewn on with thread. We place them on different sides of the resulting center of the decoration.

All that remains is to add a beautiful rose. And let's start making it by preparing a template for the petals. Based on circles with a diameter of 7 and 8 cm, we draw three petals with a common center.

We cut out the templates and apply them to the wrong side of the selected plastic suede. Using a toothpick, trace the outlines and cut out two petal circles of different sizes.

Now turn on the iron at high power, since the suede is 2 mm thick. We will do heat treatment separately for each part of the petal circle. We apply the part to the iron with the wrong side, and as soon as the material begins to shrink, we remove it. And with our fingers we make a new shape. With one finger, press the middle along the front side. And with the other hand, we press the upper edge of the petal along the wrong side with two fingers, pressing it over the finger on the front side. It turns out to be a strong, interesting bend.

In this way we process all parts of the workpieces. We use heat to thin the material and use our fingers to create a new shape.

We have 4 such blanks.

Now you can move on to assembling the rose. For the center of the flower, we take a small scrap of suede that was used when cutting out the parts. We glue it into a tube and attach it to the middle of the smaller petal circle.
