Hawthorn Handmade Black Cat Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Hawthorn Handmade Black Cat Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Create your own adorable black cat brooch with the Hawthorn Handmade Black Cat Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners. Combining colourful wool-mix felt, appliqué and hand embroidery, this complete craft kit is a fun way to learn new techniques while making a unique piece of wearable handmade art.

The kit includes everything you need to make your own felt cat brooch, including wool-mix felt, DMC embroidery thread, an embroidery needle, pins, a brooch back and reusable templates. The detailed instructions guide you through each stage of the project, from cutting and positioning the felt pieces to adding the embroidery and finishing your brooch.

You'll learn how to use paper templates, wool felt appliqué and more than five different embroidery stitches, including techniques such as French knots. The clear colour diagrams make it easy to see where each element should go, making this an enjoyable project even if you're new to felt craft and embroidery.

The finished brooch measures approximately 8cm in diameter, making it a lovely accessory to wear on a coat, cardigan, bag or other favourite item.

And because the templates are reusable, you're not limited to making the design exactly as shown. Once you've gained confidence, you can experiment with different stitches, colours and layouts to create your own unique version.

More than just a brooch

Although the kit is designed to make a beautiful felt cat brooch, you can also get creative with the finished design. Leave off the brooch back and turn your creation into a patch, fridge magnet, hair decoration or keyring.

It's a great opportunity to experiment and put your own personality into the finished piece.
