Guest post: DIY Heart Beads Brooch

Cecilia is the lovely crafter and blogger behind Vixy Blue. She caught my eye as soon as she joined the “blogosphere”, with her adorable fox logo, her stunning photography and most photogenic striped cat. She accepted my offer to guest post while I’m away, so you can get a glimpse of her style:

I’m so happy Daria asked me to do a guest post, so I’m here on her blog… yayyy! I love all her DIY projects and I think one more won’t hurt! This heart brooch shows my love for pictures, for sweet outfits and for interesting craft projects, as you’re about to see!

I had a turquoise necklace and I don’t know what happened, but I found it all over my jeweley box. I love this color and I wanted to wear it again, so I gave it a new form. This is how the heart shaped brooch was born.

Let me tell you the simple steps I followed to to create a new accessory – one to match the scarf that was gifted to me by my husband. First of all, you need to cut a heart shape from your felt material. After that, sew the beads – no need for a sequence, just grab any size of beads, until you fill the heart shape. After that, use sand beads for a nice finished touch around the edge, using the brick stitch technique.  Sew the brooch pin on the back, and wear it with pride. That’s it!
