There are tons of online tutorials for how to make these roses, but i decided since i have never done one before to create a little tutorial of my own to go along with the pictures from the party set up.
Rolled Rose tutorial:
Supplies:
- fabric torn into 2-3 inch wide strips
- glue gun and glue sticks
- felt square
- fixing (headband, earring backs or pins)
- scissors
Find some scrap fabric and tear into 2-3 inch wide strips
Fold fabric in half lengthwise twice
begin to roll fabric tightly until approx. 1/4 inch and secure with glue
Now begin to twist your fabric and continue rolling, dot with glue along the way
after a few twists and rolls your rose should begin to take form
once you have reached desired length, fold fabric under rose and secure with lots of glue, cut extra fabric off
completed rose!
once you have made however many roses you want for your project, simply glue to felt. Cut felt around shape of project and glue felt directly to your fixing. Below is a headband but you can also do earrings, pin backs or really whatever you feel like
Materials needed for party:
Craft supplies (see rolled rose instructions above)
large tables, cover in paper to protect from lots of sticky glue
mimosas (orange juice and champagne)
iced tea or other decaf non alcohol drink
lunch (we did a simple salad and rolls)
We layed out all the project items on one table with instructions:
scrap fabric torn into 2 inch strips
Fabric and findings ( headbands, earring backs, pins, buttons)
The next table was the assembly table where we had people plug in their glue guns and start crafting!
a lot of glue
assembly instructions
I was having such a good time chatting with the ladies that i did not snap any photos of the craft party or the food. It is such a simple project and really easy to do while carrying a conversation. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
