How to Create a Handmade Bow Pin with Beads
Materials You'll Need
You'll need:
- Small pearl beads
- Felt
- Needle and thread
- 1 oval shaped bead
- Brooch pin
- A template for the bow
Instructions
Follow these instructions to create your bow pin:
Draw the shape of the bow you want your pin to look like.
Cut your drawing/printout and use it as a pattern to cut the felt.
You will need 2 pieces of Part A and 1 piece of Part B.Sew the small pearl beads into a piece of Part A. Start from the center, then move to the edges of one side of the bow. As you get to the center, make sure the beads look evenly spaced with no big empty spots. Repeat for the other side of the bow.
Sew the center bead or whatever you plan to use for the center of the ribbon.
Sew beads onto Part B, below the dotted line (see illustration below).
Use glue to attach the part ABOVE the dotted line of Part B to the back of Part A.
Glue the 2nd piece of Part A to the back of the combined pieces of Parts A and B.
Finally, glue the pin to the back. Cut a small piece of felt and glue it across the pin to secure it.
