This is a very interesting and unusual way to create jewelry. Fabric strips from old clothing or bed linens are used again focusing on recycling items. Strips of fabric are wrapped around a length of wire and secured with colored embroidery threads. The finished length is coiled around a pen and formed into a cone or lozenge shape. You can make these any size you want. The smaller ones make great earrings and the medium sized ones are great for brooches. These can also be made into wonderful Christmas ornaments!
Materials:
27 ½ inch of wire
Three different fabrics
Scissors
Embroidery thread, 4 colors, including metallic thread
Thick cotton thread
Beads or sequins
Needle and thread
Brooch clip fastening
Clip or fish hook earring findings
Basic Method:
1. Cut the fabric strips ½ in wide and the same length as the wire. Wrap three different strips round the wire using embroidery thread. Continue winding with the thread in random patches. Near the end of the wire, add a loop of thick cotton thread facing the end and continue wrapping the embroidery thread over the loop. Thread the end of the embroidery thread into the loop with one hand and with the other hand pull the two ends of the loop to the left until the thread end is tied off.
2. Wrap other colored embroidery threads in patches along the entire length. Now you can be creative and add a string of beads or sequins.
3. Continue wrapping the metallic thread round one end and then bend the end back on itself. Finish wrapping with metallic thread and finish the ends as described in step 1.
4. Now wrap the finished length around a pen or pencil shaping it into a spiral.
5. Take the pen out of the coil and now you can sculpt it into a cone shape for a brooch or lozenge shape for the earrings. Stitch the fabric coils securely together. You can sew the brooch clip on back or stitch the earring findings to one end of the lozenge shape. If you would like to make Christmas ornaments then just make a small loop and stitch at the top of each shape.
