4.Glue 3 feathers . one of each colour at a jaunty angle top and bottom of the Corsage

5. Make Large Peice of green felt in colour to match the feathers and die cut leaf shapes using Sissix Bigz Dies. (8 in this corsage) 

6.Add Viens to leaves with Chic Moss Glitter Glue

7. Glue 2 of the leaves to a peice of wire and bend them to look like they are trailing, glue to feathers on corsage...keep 4 remaining leaves to one side.

8. Make Large Peices of felt in Yellows and Peach to match the feathers. Use Sissix Dies to create a large layered flower and 3 small blossoms.

9. Stitch a bead through centre of large flower and fix to the corsage...note u can colour a bead to match if u wish


10. Glue in the remaining leaves under petals of flower

11. Stitch beads to the centre of each blossom and fix to the corsage around/under the large flower

12. Fix the Brooch Finding Felt to the backing felt using collal glue....ensuring that the brooch pin is lined as required.
