Burlap Rose Tutorial


I wanted to give you a quick

tutorial on how to make a burlap

rolled rose ~


Do you notice all my tutorials

are quick and easy :)

I don't like anything that takes

a gazillion years to do ~


The first thing you do is cut a strip

of burlap fabric or use burlap ribbon ~

My strip is about 2 inches wide ~

I forgot to measure the length but

it is about 1/2 yard ~


Tie a knot in the end ~


Kind of fold it in half and twist while

gluing with hot glue as you go around ~


Continue until you have made

it the size that you want it to be ~


Then take the end and glue to the

back of the rose ~


On this one I added a piece of

vintage jewelry for some bling ~


You can use these for tons of things

Here are just a few examples ~




Have fun creating!!

laurie @ bargain hunting said...

Oh how pretty. Thank you for the directions. I was inspired by a Pinterest picture of your sheet music ornament. Although mine is not nearly as pretty as yours, my Valentine sheet music was inspired by yours. I hope you don't mind that I posted a picture of yours on my blog (with a link back to your blog). If that's a problem, please let me know, and I'll remove it. Thanks for the inspiration! laurie

I love these flowers Lori. I also love what you do with them and how you adore so many of your lovely creations with them.

I am glad all is well with your blog. I did get that warning the other day when I stopped by, and hoped that everything was ok. I bet it was scary!!!!

Lori,

Thank you for the simplicity of your tutorial. I Google searched how to make a burlap rosette and after a few websites, I stumbled upon your blog. I'm so happy I did because you really made this easy to do. I just bought 2 yards of burlap fabric from Joann's on sale and wanted to jump into some crafts. Thanks for your help.

Your tutorial was super easy, I just made 3 of them before I had to go out and feed the horses and chickens. I used 'tree wrap' burlap. I think they would be great in pink died burlap!
Thank you.
