Fabric Flower Rosette

Hey Everyone!!!  Hope everyone is doing fantastic and enjoying the spring!  I've been catching up with some well needed yard work and gardening during this past weekend. 

 A little while ago I finished our spring wreath that I revamped from last years summer wreath.  On it, I added a bunch of these fabric flower rosettes.   I thought I would do a quick tutorial for anyone who hasn't done them yet.  They are super easy to make and I love that you can tweak them and make each one a little different. 

Okay, here we go.

First you cut your fabric into a strip.  I make mine as long as the width of a bolt of fabric and about two inches wide.

Next, I put a dot of hot glue in the top corner

and fold the fabric in half.

Okay, and another dot of hot glue and fold in half again.

Fold the top down like a triangle and glue.  Then keep folding for few and gluing as you go.  You should see the center form. 

Now, twist the fabric as tight or as loose as you want and keep going around and gluing every so often. 

You should see your flower start to form.

When you are all done hot glue the tail to the back.  You may also cut out a circle of felt slightly smaller than the flower and hot glue it to the back as well.

I love making these because they are SO easy.  Hope this tutorial gave you a good idea of how to make them.  I have a tutorial here for another kind of fabric flower that is also super easy. 

Thanks for staying with me and happy spring!!

Summer Wreath Revamp

Hi all!! Hope everyone had a great Holiday and a great weekend. Ours was crazy and full of lots of excitement and chaos.....just the way we like them around here!!! 

 With the anticipation of holiday guests I had the idea to revamp our summer wreath from last year.

This is what it looks like now. 

This is what it looked like last year.

I had a few different ideas for the wreath like wrapping it in burlap and then adding a lace but I decided against it.  Instead, I made some burlap and white fabric rosettes.  I took off the old flowers from last year and replaced them with the new ones. I also took off the pink ribbon and have just a piece of twine to hang it with.  I kind of like its "shabby" appearance!! 

Hope you like it.  If you do I would love for you to pin it.  Happy Spring!!
