Hawthorn Handmade Butterfly Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Hawthorn Handmade Butterfly Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Create your own beautiful butterfly brooch with the Hawthorn Handmade Butterfly Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners. Combining colourful wool-mix felt, appliqué and hand embroidery, this complete craft kit is a lovely way to learn new creative skills while making a unique piece of handmade jewellery.

The kit contains everything you need to make your own felt butterfly, including wool-mix felt, DMC stranded cotton embroidery thread, an embroidery needle, stainless steel pins, a brooch back and reusable paper templates.

The detailed instructions guide you through each stage of the project, from cutting the felt and positioning each piece to adding the embroidery stitches and attaching the brooch back. You'll learn a selection of embroidery techniques, including how to create French knots, while the colour diagrams make the project easy to follow.

No previous felt craft or embroidery experience is required, making this a great project for beginners. And once you've mastered the basic techniques, you can use the reusable templates to experiment with different colours, stitches and layouts to create your own individual butterfly design.

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

More than just a brooch

The reusable templates give you plenty of opportunities to experiment beyond the original project. You could leave off the brooch back and turn your finished butterfly into a patch, fridge magnet, hair decoration or keyring.

It's also a great opportunity to develop your own felt and embroidery designs once you've learned the basic techniques.
