and I wanted to make one, but ....I didn't have any burlap.
What I DID have was that bolt of fabric that I have used over and over again.
(best 6.99 I ever spent) :)
So I ran down to the dollar store and got a straw wreath,
cut my strips of fabric and covered the wreath,
Here is the simplest way I can show you how to make them.
Fold the fabric strip (about 12 inches long 2 inches wide)
in half. Glue
the end together and start wrapping in a twisting motion.
Like this...drop a little bit of hot glue here and there to keep the rosette together...
(or to keep your fingers stuck together and burning of the skin, whatever you choose..:)
Man, I thought I swore a lot under my breath trying to sew something....
burning my knuckles with hot glue took that to a whole new level...
I told my husband that I think the C.I.A. could use this as some
sort of way to get information out of people...
It HURTS.....:)
But..Beauty is pain....:)
and look how BEAUTIFUL it turned out...
I love it...
I hope you do to.
Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!

I saw 6 pairs of corduroy pants in the same great color at the thrift store. I may have to go back and get them. I like this look better than the burlap. Thanks for sharing!

This is beautiful! I love the color and the texture of the corduroy. I'm glad you didn't have any burlap! Thanks for sharing at this week's BFF Open House.
This is so pretty. I was thinking about making a rosette wreath for a wedding I'm decorating, and after seeing yours, I'm pretty certain I'm going to add that to my craft list. It's so pretty, and I love that you hung it with that tulle. So pretty!
The texture of this is great. I love that shade of green and with the corduroy it is even better.
I love this wreath!! I wanted to let you know I am featuring it on my site on Monday!
