DIY BROOCH WITH UKRAINIAN SYMBOLS

Send

More recently, a flower was added to Ukrainian symbolism, which is now a symbol of Ukraine. Therefore, all the holidays are now associated with this flower, which is an ornament on different objects. These are towels, embroideries, wreaths, hoops, hairpins, elastic bands, brooches. So, for example, if you go to public places on certain holidays, you will probably meet almost every person who has any thing or object that has a poppy on it. Also, to respect the symbols of the country, children from kindergarten and school are also taught, so you can also see beautiful jewelry in the hair with poppy seeds or an embroidered shirt or brooch on the chest on certain holidays. Often there is hype before the holidays to buy something with poppy seeds, so in such cases there is a rather practical way out of this situation to make, for example, a brooch with Ukrainian symbols with your own hands. As a matter of fact, we are now going to do this directly.
To make such a brooch we need:

Satin ribbon with yellow-blue stripes, as the flag of Ukraine 15 mm wide;
Ribbon rep swamp color 9 mm wide;
Ribbon rep also with yellow-blue stripes 9 mm wide;
Polymer clay poppy with a diameter of 25 mm;
Ribbon rep with poppies and cornflowers 25 mm wide;
Metal blank brooches;
A piece of yellow felt;
Lighter;
Scissors;
Heptagonal stars pattern, we will need patterns of 5 cm, 6 cm and 7 cm in diameter;
Glue gun;

So, for starters, we need to cut out three stars of the desired diameter. You can search for them on the Internet, or you can draw on your own, the most important thing is that the corners coincide, but there is a different diameter. For convenience, we also cut circles inside.

We take the largest star and a satin yellow-blue ribbon, we off the edge of the ribbon, apply it in the center and begin to wrap the first face of the star, also bring it to the center and glue a droplet of glue gun in the center.

Now, so, face-to-face, we wrap the whole star. We also burn the edge of the tape and finish in the center.

We wrap the second star according to the same principle with a marsh color rep ribbon. Reps turn around a little easier, he is more obedient than a satin ribbon and holds its shape well. We also wrap the smallest star with a rep ribbon, but already yellow-blue. We wrapped all three stars, glued all the edges well and carefully now we remove all three stars from cardboard templates.

From a wide rep ribbon, we also cut two small segments and cauterize the edges.

From yellow felt, cut a circle of 3-3.5 cm in diameter. We glue it underneath the largest star.

Then we turn and paste wide rep strips with poppies, then a green star, and then glue the smallest asterisk. In the center we glue a poppy from polymer clay, and below on felt we glue a brooch.
