As promised yesterday, here is the tutorial on Fabric Rosette Headbands.
You will need fabric, 2 felt circles-per rosette (which you can cut out of a sheet of felt), hot glue, headband, and an embellishment for the center of your flower. I cut my fabric into about 1" strips (tear if you want the frayed look). No need to measure, just eyeball it.
Starting with one strip, tie a knot in the end. This will be the center of your rosette. Then glue that to your fabric circle. (Cut your felt circle to the size you want your rosette to be.)
You will then start to twist and wrap around, gluing the fabric to the felt every so often.
You can wrap loosely or tight, which ever look you like best.
Once you are to the edge of your felt you will tuck the last bit of fabric underneath, gluing in place.
So pretty! Now you can add an embellishment to glam it up a bit, or leave it for a nice simple look. Once you have finished blingin' out your rosette, you can glue it to the headband.
Do this for however many rosettes you wish to make. They are quite addictive so I recommend you have plenty of felt and fabric on hand. Just some fair warning.
Nice and secure. Now you will glue your second felt circle to the back of the rosette to help secure it and keep it attached.
I love these !!! thank you SOOOO much for this tutorial.

Very Cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use for your embellishments and where did you get them
ReplyDelete@ Lori I used pearls that I found at Micheals.
ReplyDeleteA neat idea I saw recently was to use your heat tool or blow dryer to melt away any stray glue strands. Works like a charm. I love your rosettes and your blog. I'm a brand new follower!
