before i blogged: rosette necklace

if you missed the other two “before i blogged” projects, you can catch up HERE & HERE.

today’s project is the very popular Rosette Necklace:

i made this for my sister-in-law’s graduation present and never showed you all.  i love the colors and the asymmetrical feel.

early in this blog’s history, i created a fabric rosette tutorial if you want to make your own!

step 5:  now comes the step where you need some nimble fingers.  with the knot side in the middle, twist the fabric to form a snail-like circle.  every few twists, stop and tab a bit of glue to hold it together.

continue twisting and gluing until the entire piece of fabric is secure.  fold and glue the end under the rest of the flower to hide it better.

step 6:  add accessories.  you can glue the rosette to additional coordinating pieces of fabric as a background, add pearls, buttons, etc.

step 7:  cut out a circle of felt that is a little smaller than the size of the flower.  glue this to the bottom and use as a base to attach to a hair clip, necklace bib, or headband, etc.   you want to make sure to trim the felt so that it cannot be seen.

you did it!  the uses for this fabric rosette are endless.  enjoy creating pretty accessories using your handmade rosettes!
