You'll need

Directions

  1. Rip fabric into strips. Mine were less than 1 inch wide, give or take.
  2. Fold fabric strip in half, tie knot at end of folded fabric, cut out circles the size of your desired rosettes out of felt backing and add a dab of glue to the center of felt to glue on folded knot. I tuck the edge of the strip under the knot when I glue it down. I think the knot creates a nice "center" to the rosette.
  3. At this point, you will just take hold of your folded fabric strip and twist it around and tack it to the felt with small dabs of glue. Play around with it, practice if you need to to get your desired "look".
  4. Keep wrapping fabric until you get to the edge of the felt circle and then wrap under until you can't see any more felt.
  5. At this point I just wrap the strip under the flower and glue it down under the bottom. Trim off excess fabric.
  6. I cut out some more felt and glued my rosettes to the felt as backing and then to each other (be careful so the glue doesn't smudge through, I just added a little in between to get them to be more stable). Then I glued on the 'clasp pin' and let it cool.
