All of the above items you will need in the process of creating a brooch. With your hands of beads, you can make an original accessory, for example, a brooch for an evening gown. It all depends on your vision of the final result.

Cabochon braiding

We make brooch with our own hands from beads, using a simple technique:

First row:

Take a piece of cloth and glue the cabochon.
Then take the beads, the largest, and sew two beads near the cabochon with a "forward needle" stitch.
Go again with a needle and thread through beads and then add two more.
You should get four sewn beads to the fabric.
Then go through the needle with a thread through the three final and attach two more. Again pass with a needle through the last three beads and add two again.
Continue this until you return to the beginning of the series.
Around the cabochon should be a "ring".
In order for it to lie flat, go through all the beads with a needle and thread several times.

Second row:

To create a second row, take a small bead. This series is embroidered inside the first, to strengthen the cabochon.
The beads are sewn in the same way as in the first row.
After the line is completed, pass through all the beads of the new series with a needle and thread a couple of times.

Third row:

Let's begin to weave the third row.
It is located outside the first row. Embroider it with the same beads as in the second line.
The technique of weaving remains the same.

Fastening the brooch to the base

To fix the brooch, perform the following steps:

1. When all three rows of beads are ready for you, take the brooch stock and cut all the material around it, exactly along the contour. According to the masters working with the brooch, it is necessary to do this carefully, so as not to spoil the underside. Otherwise, everything will have to be changed.
2. Take the skin, turn it on the wrong side and attach a brooch to it. Now circle the brooch with a pencil.
   In the same way, do with cardboard.
3. Take a cardboard blank and, having retreated 5 millimeters, cut off on the edge. Should get a little bit smaller than your workpiece with brooch embroidery. Glue the pin exactly in the center of the cardboard circle.
4. Then, after the glue dries, take the product from the skin and mark the location of the brooch on it. Now you can glue an element with a barrette to the next brooch.
   
5. When the glue dries up completely, you can put a pinch of leather on the pin.

Brooch decoration

1. Take the beads, which was used for weaving the first row. Fix the thread and string on it two beads. Sew to the edge of the brooch using a "brick stitch".
   
2. The brooch is almost ready, but in order to complete the work, it is necessary to take small beads for decoration. From the first bead, remove the thread with a needle and thread on it an additional bead. Then pass through the second bead. Do the same to the end of the series.
3. Then take five beads of the same size as in the second and third row. Put on the needle with a thread of five beads. They should be sewn in the same way.
   

You should get a wonderful brooch made of beads. With their hands for beginners, making such an ornament will not be difficult. The product can be presented to close people as an original gift.

Stylish brooch-"lips"

From beads you can make an original brooch in the form of lips. So, you will need:

• Pieces of red felt;
• Strong thread - white and red, under the color of beads;
• Monofilament - 15 millimeters;
• Beads red and white;
• scissors;
• Transparent glue;
• Natural or artificial leather;
• ball pen;
• Any nonwoven material (spunbond or fleece);
• Needle bead;
• Piece of cardboard;
• Base for brooch.

Draw and sew the "lips" of beads

We learn to make brooches with our own hands from beads. So, let's start:

1. Draw a ballpoint pen sketch of the lips on a piece of nonwoven.
   The line should not only be flat and thin, but also clear. Then glue the pattern on the felt.
2. On a piece of cardboard, circle your lips along the contour. Draw the inner contour, retreating approximately 3-4 millimeters. Then cut and paste to embroidery. Then glue the base and sew a monofilament. This is done through, while the bundle is hidden in the beads. With the help of a red thread and red beads, embroider a lip contour.
3. Put on three beads and go back two, go through them again. Continue along the line further similarly.
4. Putting on the beads, tighten the thread and move the beads to the others so that you do not have gaps on the seam. Try to get a needle in the center of the line, so that the line is flat.
   
5. When all beads are stitched, it is necessary to go through again, on all the beads. You should get a tight and even outline. Also watch the corners of the lips on the brooch. They should look a little upward.
6. From the red felt cut out the details for the volume, gently pruning the excess edges. Obtain the parts obtained, for reliability you can sew. In the process of working, adjust the corners and edges of the lips.
   
7. Begin to sheathe from the middle, putting the beads on the thread and trying on the right amount of beads.
8. Tighten the thread so that the felt can not be seen, but not too tight.
9. Add or reduce the beads as the lips are diminished or enlarged. In the corners of the "mouth" if there are many places, then you can add a few more small beads. Fill the white voids with threads where small beads do not fit. Watch the lip line. It should not shift.

With white beads, embroider "teeth." Cut along the contour near the edge, but so as not to damage the thread.
If you have little experience, it is better to leave the place with a margin. Then turn the brooch over and trim the remaining edge on the wrong side.

Some Assembly Recommendations

At first, do not experiment. Use the material from the foregoing lesson: "Brooches of beads with your own hands." The schemes of weaving, presented in the article, will help you to understand in detail some of the subtleties of the work.

• When fitting the skin, draw lines where your base will be inserted into the leatherette. If it falls badly, then you can cut it a little. Make cuts as small as possible so that the base does not look out. Use a good leatherette, which is easily stretched and restores its shape.
• Use the adhesive gently, the entire surface should be covered with glue applied in a thin layer. Smooth your fingers, driving out his excess. Crop around, leaving 1-2 millimeters to cover the thickness of the felt.

The last recommendation: brooches embroidered with beads, not everyone can make their own hands. Do not leave your own exclusive on the dusty shelf. Attach to a scarf, dress, blouse or bag and carry it with pleasure.
