Beaded brooch with beads for your own hands - brooch varieties, details and step by step instructions with photo

Basis for work

So, how to learn how to make a brooch from beads? The principle in the basis of all crafts is approximately the same. A large number of small beads are taken, and a large piece - a stone or a rhinestone, a cabochon - stands out against them.

To insert a decoration into a brooch, setings - special accessories with a frame-right - are used. You can fasten a stone or a base with beads there with settees. Settings can be simple and smooth or already have their own decor, original shape and are beautiful on their own.

You can do without a frame, take a button and trim it with fabric, and glue or stitch beads on top.

Decor in addition to beads

Do not forget to use additional types of decorations - this will make the brooch more decorative and original. You can take the following varieties of decorations:

• pieces of fur;
• ribbons;
• netting;
• shiny piping;
• sequins, rhinestones;
• Stones - artificial or semi-precious, like crystal.

Tip: You can take a special type of rhinestones - hotfix. They are glued on by heating, when the rhinestones are taken with tweezers and held up to a burning candle, then pressed down.

Very beautiful are cabochon (round-cut) or rivoly cut stones (with facets and a cone at the base).

Variety of brooches

The master has a wide variety of ideas to choose from, which can be gleaned from the Internet, albums, or workshops. Types of brooches can be as follows:

• Pendant. The easiest way to make such a brooch is from a setting with a pendant, where there is already a hole.
• A braid of beads for a rivoli or cabochon.
• Mesh or ribbon for jewelry. The tube-shaped net can be filled with beads, and the ribbon serves as a flat base for attaching the pieces.
• Boutonniere - a miniature bouquet of beads on wire is made, fastened to the base and decorated with stones.
• Embroidery on the brooch. It is possible to embroider a fabric basis with beads and threads, combining different techniques. Fabrics suitable are felt, cloth, satin, wool, and velvet.
• Popular motifs: animals, flowers, sweets, fruit, toys, cartoon characters, coats of arms and symbols.

Tip: Use high-quality, uniform beads. It is necessary to sew or glue it in even rows, symmetrically and neatly, for the work to look qualitative.

3. Next, sew the beads inside the silhouette of a butterfly, with veins on the wings of gold beads. The main background is purple, green.
4. Then we cut out the butterfly from a piece of felt, make whiskers from wire and sew them on the back.
5. We create a template on cardboard and glue it on the back of the butterfly with glue.
6. Similarly, a leather stencil is made and glued over the butterfly.
7. It remains to fix the clasp of the brooch, make a beautiful outline.

Our butterfly is ready - it can be worn on a dress or suit, given to friends or sold online in a handmade auction.
