Jewel bugs

Hello there! Today I also share something a bit different - like last week with the wands. Like those, these are also something I initially made for work as samples. 

These are little hand sewn jewel beetle brooches. The bigger rhinestones are glued in place but the seed beads are sewn in place. The bugs are done on top of craft felt, then cut to the right size, stuffed and the legs and antennae added. They are no mixed media, but still were fun to do! 

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a lovely day!
