  Step 1

  Here is what you will need.

• 

  Step 2

  Take the wire and fold in half, but leave a curve on the bottom, then put the five beads on the wire.

• 

  Step 3

  Make the little wings like the image.

• 

  Step 4

  Make the secondary wings, a little bigger than the first.

• 

  Step 5

  Fold the wire down to the back (the back will be the front when is ready).

• 

  Step 6

  Then turn the wire up from the front, this will make sure that the wings don't move.

• 

  Step 7

  Put the other bead on the top and turn the top of the wire.

• 

  Step 8

  Put the pin through the red bead. in a way that it wont come out.
  If you follow the steps, you will have the right place to put it.

• 

  Step 9

  Right there!

• 

  Step 10

  Done.

very cute! it got a little tricky once i got to the part with the second set of wings, so i had to improvise and wrap the wire up and down before doing the second set. it was hard to keep the first set of wings in place! but i love the outcome

I'm totally making some of these dragonflies for my sister, she's obsessed with them. She even has a Dragonfly bathroom.

I used thinner wire than you did I think 'cause mine isn't as round, but still okay
Since I don't like brooches so much I made a pendant ;)
