Fabric Roses (sort of a tutorial....)

I was asked to share the fabric roses "how to".... well they 

couldn't be easier.  

I thought I would whip something up to cover an ugly green

plant container and make it cute. 

I picked up some baby tears (they make me think of my Mom)

I think that plant was $1.50

 I grabbed my supplies; 

burlap

ribbon

glue gun

scissors and plant

I cute a long piece of my burlap to cover up the Ugly pot. 

(Just put a few dabs of glue to secure it as you go.)

Then you take your ribbon, (you can use fabric as well, just cut long narrow lengths)

I don't ever measure so play around with it to get different size flowers

 Sorry for the unfocused picture. 

My tripod is out in my car... it is pouring... and 

I was balancing the camera between my knee and my chin... need I say more.

Back to the flower... Take your ribbon and tie a knot in the end.

(this way you have something to wrap it around) 

 (again balancing my camera... )

this is pathetic... 

Just start wrapping and twisting around your knot. 

add glue as you go to hold it together.

 

 wrap until you have come to the end. 

put a little dab of glue on the back of your flower to

secure the end. 

(and for pete sake STOP looking at my un-manicured hands....)

there you have it. 

I wrapped a matching ribbon around the burlap... and put a large blop of glue

(see it dripping onto my counter...)

Put your beautiful rose into the glue blop... (Blop is a very technical term 

and it is way different then a blob...)

I stuck mine on my kitchen window sill...

 It is raining here in the North... 

  Hope you all make something with a Fabric Rosette.
