Making a Comono Brooch from Handkerchiefs

To do it, you`ll need the following:

  • handkerchief;
  • scissors;
  • felt;
  • glue gun;
  • clasp for a brooch;
  • toothpick.

Take a new handkerchief. Cut out squares of 3 x 3 cm. You will need 39 squares for a brooch 5 wide.

Take one square and fold it diagonally.

Then, middle it.

Glue open corners.

Begin to wind it on a toothpick, starting from the glued corner.

Finally, fix it with a drop of glue. Make 39 of such things.

Cut 2 circles with a 3 cm diameter from felt. Glue 15 curls to one circle.

Next, make the second layer. Glue curls to each other with their bottoms in a circle.

Glue 12 pieces in such a way.

Glue the third layer the same way, there will be 8 pieces. The fourth layer has only 4 curls. I shortened them by 3 mm for them to fit well in the center. Next, take the first layer, glue and put the second layer inside.

Then, glue the 3rd and 4th layers. Take the second felt circle, sew or glue the clasp to it for and glue it to the brooch.

Now you can be proud of yourself and admire your work. This brooch can decorate a hat or scarf.
