The second step. Then we take one half in black, one burgundy and cut each into three equal parts, as a result of which we get six blanks.

The third step. We take the first small workpiece, turn it into a loop and form a petal, it is important that part of the zipper with cloves is on the front side. We fasten the loop with a needle with threads.

The fourth step. By exactly the same principle, we form all other petals for our future brooche.

The fifth step. After that, we begin to form a flower from individual petals, according to our idea, its shape will go to the half of the chamomile flower, for this we take one burgundy and one black petals sew them along the bottom with each other.

Sixth step. Further alternating colors, sew all the other petals and get such a blank. So that the edges of the zipper do not break and hang the threads, they can be melted with a lighter or a burning candle.

To do this, we turn one edge into a tube, fix it with a needle with a thread, and then we will add the turns, picking up the zipper at the base with small estimates with small segments and sew it to the beginning of the bud. As a result, we got such a bud.

The eighth step. We sew the bud to the petals and get an unusual flower, an unusual shape, exactly the way we planned.

Ninth step. Now, from the remaining halves of the black lightning, we will make leaflets for our flower. To do this, we will form two identical loops from it, so that one of their edges lay down to the center of lightning and fix it with a needle with a thread.

The tenth step. We sew the manufactured leaves to the flower, so that the sections of the blanks with the teeth are turned on the front side.
