DIY Felt Rosette

The mind boggles with design possibilities when gazing upon the fun, easy-to-make DIY Felt Rosette. Attach one or more to a sweater, or shoes, or a denim jacket or a throw pillow or picture frames or a hat! Rosettes turn ordinary objects into luxe objects with just a few stitches.

Follow this tutorial to create rosettes in any color and size you like using the Crazy Craft Kit, scissors and a hot glue gun.

Choose a piece of felt from the Crazy Craft Kit and draw a spiral on it with a regular ball point pen. You'll have to use a silver sharpie on the dark colors. You can also wing it—just keep the line evenly parallel as you circle around. The size of the felt square will determine the size of your rosette.

Use your scissors to cut the spiral out. You'll end up with something like this:

This straight-edge style will get you a bud that looks like a felt peony. To make a felt rose, cut a curvy line on the spiral and you'll end up with wavy, rose-like petals.

Next, starting with the outer end, roll the felt up tightly, around and around, keeping your eye on what will be the center of the bud.

To secure the end, leave just the tip unrolled. While holding the rosette tightly, add a dollop of hot glue to seal it.

Before the glue cools, fold the unrolled tip over the bottom of the rosette and press into the hot glue. This gives the rosette a neat, closed end that is secure enough to attach to whatever you're decorating.

A good tip to keep in mind when you're arranging rosettes is alternating size. Make three smalls and two larges etc. Use a needle and thread to attach them to whatever you're decorating. You'll be able to hide the stitches underneath.

Now take your roses and peonies and run! Sew them to something, STAT! You'll soon be holding beautiful DIY rosettes that turn anything they touch to decorative gold.
