  • Tattered Scalloped Rose Tutorial

    Tattered Scalloped Rose Tutorial

    A sweet lady wrote to me and

    asked me if I could do a

    tutorial on the roses that

    are on my Flower Girl Baskets

    and Ring Bearer Pillows ~

    I actually bought those at a

    scrapbooking store and hadn't even

    tried making them ~

    But today I wanted to give it a

    whirl and make a larger size one ~

    So here goes a quick tutorial

    on what I did ~

    Remember nothing is set in stone

    so you can play around with

    the sizes ~

    1. Tear a strip of muslin 2 x 38 inches ~

    2. Fold it into fourths and cut

    scallops ~

    3. Gather one side close to the edge ~

    4. Roll in one side about 2 times

    and glue it down ~

    5. Glue it standing upright on to

    a piece of felt ~

    6. Glue it around and around

    the base until all of your

    muslin is used up ~ Tuck it

    as close as possible to the base

    piece as you go around ~

    7. Cut the back of the felt off

    in a circle to your glue ~

    I rubbed mine with my hand

    to give it a tattered look ~

    If you want it tea dyed then

    just dip it in tea and squish out

    the excess ~

    Sit it out in the sun

    until it is dry ~

    I kind of separate the petals

    to lay them out a bit ~

    I LOVE this look alot !!

    I think

    it is my favorite !

    Just a little FYI ...

    There is a sale going on

    at my website until October 14th ~

    Come on over !
