Beaded brooch tutorial

How to make a beaded brooch!

Like this one.

After school on Tuesday's I go to Guides and we made

one of these each and I thought it

was a good idea that you might like to know how to make them as well.

All you need is:

*9 safety pins

*some beads

This is my pattern for the beads using squared

paper with the width

and the hieght which is written down for you.

First start by threaing 6 beads using the same colour

onto a safety pin and close it.

Copy the picture so that all of the beads and their colours are on the right safety pin.

and in the right order.

Do two of each as shown. You will have one safty pin

left over thats a good thing.

Sepparate the curvey end of the safety pin

so it looks like this.

Then twist the first beaded pin over the now opened curvey end of the empty safety pin.

Do this to the first 4 pins that you put beads on.

So that it looks like this!

Repeat  the pattern above so that you end up with half a flower shape.

When its finished it shoud look like...

...this.Now all that is left to do is to pin it to a top or

a coat or even on your

handbag!

This is what it should look like pined to a summer

dress.And there you have it a

home made beaded brooch! Quick and easy.
