My master class on making a peony brooch from satin ribbons. DIY brooches with ribbon embroidery Brooches embroidered with ribbons

I decided to post my master class on making a flower brooch from satin ribbons.

I took Tyutelka’s master class, presented in the post about peony mania, as a basis. I want to apologize for the quality of the photo - at night the photos are always of poor quality, and when using the flash, the white satin simply lit up and blended into the background.

To make a peony brooch (peony embroidery) we need: base fabric (I have white gabardine, the price in the store is 80 rubles per meter), hoops, satin ribbons of different widths (I have from 0.3 cm, 0.6 cm, 1 cm, 2.5 cm, 4 cm), tapestry needles, lighter, scissors, batik paints, glue, brooch fasteners.

Thread the gabardine into the hoop, draw a circle on the fabric - the diameter of the peony base (2-3 cm). Starting from the center, we embroider the loops with the thinnest ribbon, trying to make the height the same. After filling the center of the circle with loops (approximately 1 cm in diameter), take the tape out, cut it, and singe it. Then I cut the main part of the loops (you don’t have to do this) and carefully singe them with a lighter, moving the ribbons apart (so that they don’t stick together when singed).

Then I take the next size ribbon (I took pink, although all the ribbons were white, I plan to tint the flower). I make loops in a circle. I also cut the loops and singe them so that the ribbon is wrapped.

This is the downside

From a ribbon 1 cm wide, I immediately cut the edge of the ribbon in a circle, singe it,
I start the ribbon from the front, stitch the fabric, bring it to the front

I cut, singe, etc. in a circle. I do this because I’m afraid of catching other ribbons with the flame + this way it’s more convenient to bend the ribbon + it turns out neatly on the back side

I cut petals from 2.5 cm ribbon


I burn it with a lighter. To form a fold, you need to place a light under the center of the petal, but keep the fire below the fabric

And I pull it through the fabric with a needle. I make a couple of circles with these petals. Please note - all petals bend towards the center of the flower

I cut petals from a 4 cm ribbon, singe them,

I pull it through the fabric with a needle. I make a couple of circles with these petals. Please note - all petals bend from the center of the flower.

When the result suits me, I cut off all the “tails” on the wrong side, singe them and carefully grab them with a thread, trying to grab (sew) everything.

Now for me the most delicious thing is the tinting of the flower. I took this picture as a basis.

I mix pale yellow paint (yellow + white) on the palette. I wet the center of the flower with a wet brush (just water), pushing the petals apart.

Then I tint the middle of the flower and dry it with a hairdryer.


I mix pale pink paint on the palette (pink + white)

I wet the tips of the flower petals with a wet brush (just water). Then I tint the edges of the flower and dry it with a hairdryer. I'm pleased with the result.

The next stage is greens. I take a green (or white) ribbon (width 2.5) and cut it into strips (I determined the length this way - I applied the ribbon to the flower and estimated how much the leaves should stick out in both directions). I fold the strips in half, singe the fold, making a fold.

After that, I cut it out (see the result). I singe the edges and centers and go to the kitchen to draw the veins.

I took this picture as an example:

I lay out a piece of paper on the mouse pad, and with the blunt side of a knife heated over a fire (I use gas at home) I draw veins. They turn out to be embossed.

Now I will paint the leaves in a more natural color (I mix it from two colors - swamp + green).

After painting, I dry the leaves with a hairdryer (I press them with a brush to prevent them from scattering).

I also experimented - I emphasized the veins on the leaves with a gel pen - she draws beautifully on a satin ribbon.
The next stage is to remove the flower from the hoop, cut the fabric in a circle, leaving a centimeter and a half),

I gather it on a thread, pull it together and carefully stitch it.

Next, I take monofilament thread (you can use green thread to match the leaves) and start sewing on the leaves, trying to recreate the original...

Now I have the greenery sewn on, now I sew it through the middle, pulling it together so that the flower is flatter.

The final stage is gluing the fasteners for the brooch.

And now my beauty is ready! It turned out to be dense, the paint (acrylic) made the satin hard, which is very good for a brooch. The coloring turned out very delicate!!!

We all know that fashion never stands still. She can subtly rush forward, offering fantastic outfits and images, or she can go back, looking for “highlights” from fashionistas of past centuries.

It is thanks to this phenomenon - the cycle of fashion - that we owe the return of the brooch to the outfits of modern beauties. Surely many remember how lovingly their grandmothers kept brooches in ancient boxes and put them on on the occasion of a celebration.

Today, wearing brooches is also considered a sign of good taste, so fashionistas wear them not only on special occasions, but also in everyday life.

The brooch will be a wonderful gift for your mother, grandmother, friend or colleague on March 8 or any other holiday. Today we will tell you about several ways to make a brooch with your own hands.

You can make a brooch using almost any technique:

Brooches with embroidery

Brooches made of felt and beads

Lightning brooches

Satin ribbon brooches

Crochet brooches

Complex fabric brooches

It is quite possible to learn how to make all this beauty, the main thing is to know the main stages of creating a brooch.

Brooch with embroidery on a fabric basis

To make such a brooch with your own hands you will need:

• small embroidered plot
• cotton or linen fabric for the back piece
• piece of cardboard
• lace
• a special lock for the brooch (you can, of course, get by with a regular pin, but it will be quite difficult to attach it).

Trim the embroidery into a circle shape. We try it on a cardboard circle (to prevent the embroidery from moving to the side, it is better to secure it with pins).

We tighten the needle along the edges with a “forward” seam, tighten the thread and secure it.

Don't forget to put some filling inside if you want the brooch to be soft and voluminous.

We do the same with the back part, making it a little larger in size. You don't have to put any filler in the back.

Attach the brooch clasp to the back.

Now we sew both parts together, putting lace between the parts.

The brooch is ready!

Instead of lace, you can use satin ribbons to decorate a brooch:

To make such a brooch you will need:

• blank - the basis for a brooch (sold in handicraft stores)
• embroidery on canvas or evenly woven fabric
• piece of cardboard
• padding polyester or other filler (optional)
• hot gun

The process of creating such a brooch is even simpler. We stretch the embroidery onto a cardboard base (see description for the previous brooch), and then glue the embroidery to the metal base.

The brooch will turn out very delicate if you pass a satin ribbon through the edges of the blank.

A beautiful version of a brooch made from ribbons in the video master class:

As you can see, using this manufacturing option allows you to get an exclusive piece of jewelry in a vintage style.

Unfortunately, special accessories for making jewelry can be very difficult to find in small towns. And online stores often offer such accessories in sets of 5-10 pieces per package, which is not very convenient for those who want to “just try it out.”

Felt brooch

In order to make such a brooch you will need:

• felt in two colors
• floss threads to match the felt
• beautiful vintage button
• brooch holder

Cut out flowers and petals from felt using the suggested template.

Cut round holes in the center of the flowers.

Using floss threads, sew the veins of the flower.

Sew a brooch fastener to the leaves on the reverse side.

Choose a beautiful button and sew it on.

Brooch braided with beads

Another way to make a brooch frame is to braid with beads.

For example, watch this video tutorial on cabochon braiding.

Cabochon- a precious or semi-precious stone processed in a special way. After this treatment, the stone acquires a smooth convex polished surface without edges. And you can weave an embroidered plot in the same way.

There are many ways to decorate a handmade brooch. You may want to decorate the edges with braid.

Or crochet the edge:

The back part can be made not only from fabric, but also from felt:
