I came across this fun tutorial for a large rosette flower a while back. Yes, there are billions of tutorials for rosettes all over the blogosphere, but this flower looked a billion times better than any other I'd ever seen (in my little opinion). So, I made a note to try it out and then I forgot again until I saw Delia make one as well.
So HERE is the original tutorial from Tanya's blog, Trey and Lucy. She also added a video tutorial (great idea) of it HERE. Anyhow, I LOVE it in her hair and I LOVE the outfit she's wearing with it. Gorgeous!
So, when naptime hit yesterday I headed off to make one. Here's mine.
I haven't decided if I'm going to use it in my hair or on a cardigan or what. We'll see. I think it would look especially cool with a doily behind it.
I just love this rosette! I made one in red and have bought fabric for in about 4 other colors. :)
ReplyDeleteYours turned out super cute!
It would really cute on a sweater. In these pictures the boys look a lot alike. Do you think so or is it just me?

Fun! It would be really cute, if you could sew a back on it & turn it into a small purse, too! Rosette ear muffs?? I will stop being like Bubba, on Forrest Gump, as the possibilities are endless! I think it was the pictures of your boys balancing the rosette on their heads, that got me in a silly mood, Thank you!!
