TUTORIAL ~ Easy Dollar Store Rose Petal Roses/Flowers

Hey Everyone!

Just popping in on a stormy early evening

here in Michigan

to share a simple tutorial that I put together.

I know there are soooo many roses tutorials

out there, but I didn't see one like this.

So, as I was making these today

for my crafting use,

  it dawned on me to share this

 simple way to make these

sweet roses with my friends.

SUPPLIES:

bag of rose petals

(I purchased mine a few years ago at

Dollar Tree)

Low Temp Glue Gun

Small piece of felt

Center piece

In the bag are white and pink petals that I stained

using coffee.  They give a vintage look.

First, cut a square or circle about 1.5 inches of felt.

Add a dab a glue around the center as shown.

Then, making sure the petals all face the same way.

Place them overlapping all around to create your base.  I used

5 petals to start with on the bottom/base.

Below, you see petals all added . 

You may need to

dabble a little bit of glue for added adherence.

Now start layering.  I added more glue to the center

and layered around with the petals

going around about 2 to 3 more times

another layer...

the last layer should have 3 petals

I then glued 3 gauzy petals on top of the other layers

(you do not have to do this, I just had them and like

how it looks)

The next pictures show how I finish the center.

Cut 3 petals at the point like below

then cut a slit in the center of each petal

glue the left side

fold over the right side to glue

glue back side overlapping all 3

this then creates a place for your center piece.

you can use buttons, pearls, earrings...

See? Simple and Pretty!

There you have it!

Let me know if you give this a try!

I am always checking available for

questions or clarification!

Thanks for stopping by!
