| Beautiful, right? Well, let's make it. |
Difficulty: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Supplies:
sheet of stiff navy felt
white & red embroidery floss
embroidery needle
pin back to make it a brooch
E6000 glue or hot glue
nautical charms/buttons/ribbon
 |
| Cut out two pieces of stiff felt similar to this shape, whatever size you would like. Put the second one aside until the very end. |
 |
| Use a washable writing utensil to draw a small circle with a line. (See picture above) |
 |
| Thread your needle with the white thread and using the lines as a guide, start embroidering! |
 |
| Use small, overlapped stitches. Turn on the TV or radio so you don't drive yourself nuts. |
 |
| Add a small horizontal line like the picture above. It should look kind of like the female symbol. |
 |
| Trace the two curvy lines of the bottom of the anchor to your felt. Embroider over those as well. |
 |
| Almost done! |
 |
| Add the two pointed arrow tips. |
 |
| Optional: Use the LAZY DAISY STITCH in red to copy the rope detail. |
 |
| Add whatever charms or decorations you like with glue. |
 |
| Squeeze some glue all over the back of the pin and line up the other felt shape you set aside earlier. |
 |
| This will hide the messy work in the back. Now you have a flat surface to glue your pin back too! |
 |
| YAY for handmade knockoffs! |
 |
| Instead of a pin, you could glue it to a lamp for a nautical themed room! |
