Tattered Strip Rose Tutorial

I was making some

tattered strip roses 

today and thought

I would take some pictures

along the way to 

show you how to do them ~

1. Tear a strip of muslin

4 inches wide by 2 yards ~

This will make 2 small roses

or one large ~

 

2. Sew the strip in half

and then cut in about half

inch sections ~ I sewed

mine with a serger but

any machine will do ~

3. Tea dye and let dry in the

sun ~

When dry kind of scrunch it

in your hands to make

it all tattered ~

4. Gather either by hand

or on a machine ~ I used

a gathering foot so it

looks pleated but doesn't

 have to be ~

5. Glue on to a piece of

felt or canvas using

the instructions here~

6. Glue a jewel or pearls

in the center and 

that is it!!

Have fun!!
