Crochet Flower Bud Brooch
I love to crochet flowers and leaves but I tend to have not many ideas about what to do with them...so here is one version in which I made Flower Brooches using crochet designs and hot glue.
You Will Need:
- hot glue gun
- hot glue sticks
- fabric paint
- mini paint palette
- Mini paintbrush
- 8 ply wool
- computer with internet connection
- 7 mm crochet hook
- Brooch back findings
Making Flower Rosette & Leaves
create crochet rosette following along Yolanda's amazing video instructions
create crochet leaf X 2 following along Yolanda's amazing video instructions
Embellishing
- squeeze fabric paint onto palette
- use paintbrush to paint along the 'edges’ of the rosette petals
- use paintbrush to paint along the outside 'edges' of the crocheted leaves
- wait for the paint to dry
Assemblage
- squeeze a strip of hot glue along a brooch back finding
- press on one leaf to glue it to the finding
- repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other leaf
- squeeze a blob of hot glue on the back of the rosette
- press the rosette to the middle of the brooch back in the middle of the leaves
- wait for the glue to dry
