In kindergartens and primary schools, many teachers will give children an assignment, which is to raise silkworms at home. To be honest, it brings a lot of burden to parents. Obtaining mulberry leaves is one of the most important tasks. It is an arduous project. After raising the silkworms, we can keep the remaining silk shells and use them to make small handicrafts. Here we will make a Christmas brooch, which is a very beautiful Christmas gift.
Main material: Silkworm shells, wide ribbons, non-woven fabrics, pins, beads, Tools required: Scissors, lighter, paint, needle and thread, awl, Production steps:
Step 1: We cut the shells of the silkworm babies, and then use the shells of the larger individuals to cover the smaller ones
Step 2: Next, paint the surface of the shell
Step 3: After the paint is dry, stick small beads on the surface, then punch holes and string strings
Step 4: In this way, two works that look like small acorns are hung on the rope
Step 5: Then cut the wide ribbon into the shape of a leaf, and then use a lighter to heat the edge slightly to fix the edge
Step 6: Fold the ribbon and make the crease more obvious to make the veins of the leaf
Step 7: Next, use brown non-woven fabric to secure the pins
Step 8: Sew it up with needle and thread
Step 9: Now you can combine the previously created parts
Step 10: This will make a beautiful brooch.
