Description of work
1.First, draw a sketch of a pansy flower on a piece of paper using a simple pencil. It will consist of two approximately identical parts of different sizes. You can draw your own version, or use the one we offer. Carefully cut out both paper templates along the outline.2.Next, we apply the larger flower part to the raspberry-colored felt, and the smaller part to the light pink felt. Carefully outline both templates with a simple pencil and cut them out of the fabric. Please note that we used pink shades in our work, but pansies come in purple, orange and white, you can experiment and choose your own color options.
3.We also need to cut out one leaf from green felt, to make it easier, you can draw the outline with a simple pencil directly on the fabric or, as we did in the case of the flower, make a paper template in advance.
4.We assemble all the details of the decoration, namely, we place the smaller light pink flower detail exactly in the center of the larger one, and we place the leaf underneath the flower. Then we thread the yellow floss thread into the needle in two folds and, starting from the center of the upper flower, we make thick stitches of different heights according to the principle of satin stitch embroidery. In this way, we will decorate the center of the pansies and at the same time fasten all the details of the flower together.
5. Embroider with yellow threads around the entire flower. This is how it should look.
6. Next, take a single strand of orange floss and place several orange stitches between the yellow ones. Unlike the first ones, they should not be as thick and should only shade the middle.
7.After the orange threads, we take the black ones, we will also lay several thin stitches in a circle with them, using a needle with a thread in one addition. Please note that all stitches should be laid from the center of the flower to the edge of the petals, like rays, while the middle should be completely filled with embroidery.
8. This is the pansy flower we got.
9. Next, take a dark green floss thread and embroider the veins on the leaf using the decorative “stem” stitch.
10. The work on the flower is completely finished, if desired, for decorating the leaf, you can also use threads of several shades of green, so the decoration will look even brighter and more original.
eleven.All we have to do is attach the flower to the jewelry base for the ring, we will do this using hot glue. We determine in advance how exactly we want the flower to be located on the ring, and only then glue it.
12.Here is such a stylish and unusual DIY felt decoration - a ring, we made in a fairly short time. You can also make earrings, a brooch or a hairpin to go with it.
