Hawthorn Handmade Dragonfly Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Hawthorn Handmade Dragonfly Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Create your own beautiful dragonfly brooch with the Hawthorn Handmade Dragonfly 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 wearable art.

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

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

No previous felt craft or embroidery experience is required. And once you've mastered the basic techniques, you can use the reusable templates to experiment with different stitches, colours and layouts to create a dragonfly that's completely your own.

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 get creative beyond the original project. Leave off the brooch back and turn your finished dragonfly into a patch, fridge magnet, hair decoration or keyring.

You can also experiment with your own colour combinations and embroidery stitches to create additional felt and embroidery projects.
