MRAC - Plaited Brooch Tutorial

What you will make is this plaited brooch.



What you need:
Your old show strings (Pick three colours you think are the best)



I add tulle, few little flowers, and vintage button.
You need a round-shape felt and a Glue Gun



And of course, needle, thread, and pin:



What you do:
Tie a knot as the first step:



Make plait until the end of your shoe strings:



Let it loose, do not knot it:



PREPARE YOUR GLUE GUN
Start with your loose shoe string. Be careful in attaching your plaited shoe string to that round-shape:



Continue until the last of your plaited shoe string with closing knot.
Tie your tulle:



I added three little flowers here (I hot-glued them):



Last step is to sew your pin on the back of  your felt.
NOTE: YOU CAN DO IT BEFORE YOU GLUE YOUR PLAITED SHOE STRINGS.



Voila!
Your new brooch is ready to wear! (I cut the end of my shoe strings so they have sharp end as pictured)
You can attach it on your bag, or your t-shirt, everywhere!
You can also glue a hair clip with pad if you'd like to wear it as a hair accessories.



Have fun~!
