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!
