Crochet Dragonfly Pin

 

A Kreinik website design by Jane Benton Butler

Skill Level:  Beginner

Wire jewelry is so popular right now, and so is crochet. This quick-to-make crocheted bug uses wire in its wings and body along with Kreinik metallics to capture the iridescence of a real dragonfly. Wear your art out-wear it as a pin, or make two and attach to the tops of a purchased pair of shoes (slides or mules; we found a great pair of sage green ones at Wal-mart).  

Materials needed:

• one reel Kreinik Tapestry (#12) Braid 085 Peacock
• one reel Kreinik Fine (#8) Braid 070 Mardis Gras
• 15 inches of 22-gauge craft wire
• sew-on pin back
• two beads (for eyes)
• beading thread and needle
• Tapestry needle
• wire cutters
