1. Yellow soutache.

2. Soutache with golden lurex.

3. Black button with a diameter of 4 cm.

4. Findings for round brooches.

5. Thread of yellow rondels, 2*3 mm.

6. Thread.

7. Thin needle.

8. Small piece of leather or suede.

9. Glue gun.

10. Lighter.

To make a fastening, just pass the needle with thread through the soutache cord to and fro 3 times. Then the thread is cut. No knots.

Steps:

1. Petals — 6 pieces

2. Picking petals on the thread

3. Gluing the round leather base

4. Gluing buttons

5. Gluing findings

1. Petals

Cut a piece of yellow soutache with gold of 9 cm, the gold inside. Fasten the thread piercing all layers of soutache. Try to pass the needle through the center of the soutache cord. Thus you shape the tip. Then, pass the needle as shown in the photo, pick a rondel and pierce the second cord.

In the next row, take 3 rondels. Then 4, 3 and 2.

Now cut out a new piece of 10 cm and combine the two cords. Then pick one rondel and sew it all through: the thread must pass through the roundel 2 times, to and fro. Pull the thread to the end and make the fastening, cut off the thread and scorch with a lighter.

Make 6 such petals. If you want, you can make smaller petals with the number of rows of roundels 1,3,3,2.

2. Picking petals on the thread

3. Gluing the round leather base

First, beautifully lay out the petals on a sheet of paper.

Cut out a round piece of leather, diameter slightly less than a buttons, about 3 cm, and glue over the petals with the glue gun.

4. Gluing buttons

Attach the button with the glue gun.

5. Gluing findings

And the flower is done!

Hurrah!
