Fabric Rosette Tutorial
Hi All! I am here to share a fun totorial with you today! Earlier this month I created this layout with the April kit:
The little roses that you see on the page are hand rolled roses made with the American Crafts "Dear Lizzy" fabric paper. Even though they look little complicated, with just a few supplies and repetitious steps you'll soon realize they're really quite simple.
These are the supplies that you will need in order to make a rosette:
1.) A 1/2 inch by 8 inch piece of the Dear Lizzy fabric paper.
2.) A bottle of glue
3.) A needle/paper piercing tool. I misplaced my needle tool so I made mine using a mini screw driver, it works just as well! :)
After you cut a 1/2 inch by 8 inch strip of the Dear Lizzy fabric paper, peel all of the paper and adhesive backing off of the fabric.
Apply a small dot of glue to the right end of the fabric strip.
Hold the tool vertically in your right hand, the strip in your left, and begin to roll the tool toward the left. Make a few revolutions to secure the paper and form the center of the rose.
Use your left hand to bend the strip straight up at a 90 degree angle.
Continue rolling the tool toward the left, rolling over the fold as you go. At the same time, use your left hand to gradually bring the strip back down to a horizontal position. This might sound a little complicated at first but it's really simple once you get the hang of it.
Repeat the rolling/folding as many times as it takes to use up the strip of fabric. You can see halfway through that your rose is starting to form!
Once you get to the end of the strip, fold the end under the rose and use another small drop of glue to adhere it firmly.
Gently slide the rose off of your needle tool and voila!! There is your little rosette!
I add some glue to the bottom of the rose as well to ensure that it doesn't unravel.
There ya go! Nothing to it! :) If you want to make bigger rosettes using this technique you definitely can. Just make sure that the bigger roses that you make, the longer your fabric or paper strip has to be when you start out. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial! Have a great weekend!
