Black Leather Handmade Flower Brooch

Flower leather brooch
Oh!!! We were asked to do another leather flower brooch and this is what we did!!
Steps are the same we follow as the rose brooch but here you have some pics of how we did it.
A tip: The round edges are possible burning a bit the leather and of course, leather needs to be top quality!!
Petals glue with each other using PVA glue.
All you need is love, passion and time.

Please enjoy. If you have any question, please ask me!!

Love!!
Cutting out the leather

All parts are out already
Rolling and rolling
At the back

Nice even as ring
