---------------------------------
*To stop fabric edges from fraying, mix white glue and water about 50/50 and lightly brush mixture on the cut edges of your wings. Let dry before proceeding.
*Sewing vein patterns or around edges of wings and adding beads or toupee is purely optional.
*Fabric weights vary greatly. For the wings, I like to use canvas, heavy twill, tapestry or lightweight upholstery fabrics.
*The body pieces were cut from polar fleece. The toupee' was cut from craft fur. The one I cut was a similar shape as the body pieces, just smaller. this is something you can experiment with to find the look you like best because wing placement may differ from one moth to another.

Love it! I hope you are having a "good day" keeping you in my thoughts. I know what it's like when you want to do something and your body just says , "nope, not today". Craft when you feel like it, no pressure, pretty sure I speak for many , we just enjoy what you do share and appreciate the effort to do so. *hugs*

Thank you Ms. Nik for this awesomeness tutorial.

[@TheSquidgal]

Thanks Nik. I laughed so hard at the toupee that I spilled coffee all over my desk. It was worth every drop. Thank you for not subjecting us to yet another Santa tag video! I needed this escape from Christmas Craft island.

[@lynndopson1821]

[@NiktheBooksmith]

good morning, Eileen! Thank you, my friend 🥰

[@MichelleRaeLandry]

I have been hoping you would make a video about this FOREVER! When I first found you years ago I saw photos of your brooches that you used to make... and I hoped one day you would bring them back. So excited to this video today!

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Adorable moth brooch! I think he needs some eye pattern, cute!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

I agree, that would be very cool! =)

[@jilllukas]

No Eyes?? LOL Love the Video!! Not sure if I'd wear a Moth Brooch; but Loved seeing the Process. Love All the Animations you put in ur Videos!!😉😂 Take Care & Be Safe Nik!!🤗😊 TFS!!🥰

[@NiktheBooksmith]

[@jilllukas]

@@NiktheBooksmith 😂🤣

[@donnakennedy87]

Besides being a journal maker I am a textile, fabric artist. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this brooch. So sweet and I see one coming to the front cover of a journal soon. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. Donna, in California.

[@recoveringsoul755]

perhaps she'll also need to make a lightbulb or lantern that the moth is on it's way to visit. It would be fun to have removable wearable parts on the cover of a journal. I noticed she used her little needle book she made in an earlier episode. I thought about going to the craft store today, but the line was way too long.

[@lorikendrick5076]

Very cute!

[@francineh.7825]

So cute!! As was the real moth in the pic!

[@LaughingDogsBookNook]

The Textile Dog the Bounty Hunter Brooch is Fabulous! I laughed so hard when you said that and showed his picture. This is wonderful thanks for sharing!

[@kessell637]

The moth is so pretty. Your editing cracks me up! 👍🏼💐

[@susannesalonen9453]

Thank's Nik, you make my day when I open the computer in the morning and there is a Nik the Booksmith video waiting for me. I made 5 book/library brooches to give as Christmas gifts, and i love the moth brooch as well. I'm so grateful that you have the strenght to continue making videos, but remember allso to make time to take care of your self. I know from experience it's not easy, when the inspiration hits and you forget the world around you...and then have to take medicine to cope the rest of the day. So thank you for this early Christmas gift, I think I make at least one moth fly before this year ends.

[@NiktheBooksmith]

🥰 yes, ma'am, I promise!

[@sherrifredrickson2509]

Okaaaay. I do confess: I started repairing the book. I will do the moth later :D
