Hawthorn Handmade Hare Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Hawthorn Handmade Hare Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners

Create your own charming hare brooch with the Hawthorn Handmade Hare Felt Craft Brooch Kit for Beginners. Combining felt appliqué with hand embroidery, this complete craft kit is a lovely way to learn new creative skills while making a unique piece of handmade wearable art inspired by the British countryside.

The kit contains everything you need to make your own felt hare, including 30% wool / 70% viscose 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 positioning the different elements to adding the embroidery stitches and attaching the brooch back. You'll learn how to work with felt appliqué and create more than five different embroidery stitches, including French knots.

No previous craft or embroidery experience is required, making this a great project for beginners. The detailed colour diagrams make the design easy to follow, while the reusable templates give you the freedom to experiment with different colours, stitches and layouts as your confidence grows.

The finished hare brooch measures approximately 7cm in diameter, making it a lovely accessory for a coat, cardigan, bag or other favourite item.

More than just a brooch

The reusable templates mean you can continue experimenting with the design beyond the original project. Leave off the brooch back and turn your finished hare into a patch, fridge magnet, hair decoration or keyring, or use the techniques you've learned to create your own felt and embroidery designs.
