A while ago I needed to make a rose embellishment for a secret project (which it is ok to tell about now) I had a look round and found a few ways of doing them that I thought you might like to see.
This is the first one which I found here

Here is my try. It all starts with a simple circle.
I then made some of these based on a paper rose that I have made at crafting class I once went to.
This also starts with a circle that you make into a spiral
Dab some glue in the centre of the circle and start to roll the spiral, gluing periodically. I push the centre out while the glue is still wet to give it shape.
Finally this rose is the simplest cut a strip of felt 10 cm by 1 cm
Roll round a cocktail stick glueing every now and then and at the end of the strip.
This last one starts with a strip too, just do a running stitch along the long side and pull up to ruffle it.
I used them here.
In a swap with My lovely friend Louise. She has had me doubled up laughing with her e-mails. Her son wondered how I made them so there you go little J. Has the choccie all gone yet? Watch out though British chocolate will give you super powers!!!!!!
