Making An Embroidered Moth Brooch // Emperor Moth

Today I’m going over how I make embroidered and beaded bug brooches! In this case moths, but I also want to make a few beetles. It’s time to strain the eyes and shoulders and embroider away for hours on end! Materials: craft felt, needles (beading and sewing), thread, embroidery floss, beads, sequins, pin backs, buckram (optional) Trovelore brooches: Cartwrights Sequins: Moth Image Credits: From wiki commons Female moth 1: :Saturnia_pyri._Маяцький_л Female moth 2: :Saturnia_pavonia_(Saturniidae)_(Emperor_Moth)_-_(female_imago),_Vivi_des_Bois, Male moth: :,_Saturnia_pavonia,_male._(2495809127).jpg
