Instructions
Step 1
Gather your supplies
Firstly, we want to place all our beads into magic sorting trays so that they are easy to reach while making this piece.
Cut out a star shaped piece of felt, then pin the star securely to another piece of star shaped felt underneath.
Step 2
Creating your star
Taking your S/L Light Topaz Seed Beads, sow a line of beads from each point of the star facing towards the centre of the star. Do the same from each inwards point of the star.
Step 3
Beading your Star
Now to start filling in the Star. Pick one of the sections you’ve created and start by sowing lines of your smaller Light Topaz Seed Beads vertically until you’ve filled in the section. Then for your next section, fill it with horizontal lines of beads, then the next vertical again until you have filled each section of the star.
Step 4
Finishing touches
To finish the brooch, remove any pins left in your work then glue or sow a bar brooch pin to the back your brooch.
