Brazilian Carnival Pendant – Craft Guide & Templates | PDF Download

Bring the colour and joy of Carnival to your craft table.

Create a vibrant handmade keepsake with the Quesbo Brazilian Carnival Pendant Craft Guide. Sixteen pink, purple, gold and mint petals surround a softly padded centre, framed by a painted teal border and delicate gold cord. A miniature decorative mask and three hanging charms complete this colourful design.

Enjoy shaping each detail through fabric painting and hand sewing—from the tiny mask to the painted feather, mosaic disc and flower charm. Inspired by the colour and movement of Brazil’s Carnival celebrations, this rewarding project becomes a decorative piece to display or give as a thoughtful handmade gift.
