Brooch - butterfly

It is always nice to complement the look with cute accessories, especially if they are made with your own hands.

I think many from childhood remember some elements of the origami technique, and moreover, each of us has encountered it throughout our lives. Actually, origami is a type of decorative art, an ancient art of folding paper figures. Why not use fabric instead of paper ...
I want to talk about my experience in implementing origami techniques in conjunction with sewing.
For a brooch you will need small pieces of fabric, a brooch pin, sewing threads. Based on the style of the top, I took two fabrics, not only different in color, but also in texture. We cut out - two rectangular flaps of fabrics of the required size (in my case 8x10cm) with allowances. We grind around the perimeter, leaving a cut for inversion, cut off allowances in the corners close to the line. We get such a blank (in my case, two-color)



Fold in half


Then again


Each addition is thoroughly steamed. We have the short side to ourselves. We open the top layer - we take the left free corner to the right as follows


We carry out the same manipulation with the other side.


Now you need to bend the inner corners inward as follows


We bend the left and right corners up as follows



We steam everything well, on the other hand we bend the corner and lay the fixing line in the middle.

Sew on a brooch pin and use it for health! Kit
