Valentine Rosettes DIY


                                     Happy Valentines Day!!






                                       Welcome !

          It's been years since I made these cute rosettes.

                      They have been popping up in blogland 
with Valentine Day coming up so I thought lets make some
                                       rosettes.....

                    They are very easy to make.

             Here are the supplies you will need:
                                     red felt
                                   green felt 
                                  a glue gun

                   I cut out circles with my Sissix but
                  you can use the lid off a canning jar.


Cut out your circle and then cut a spiral .
Start to roll your felt as seen here in the above picture.
then use your hot glue gun to secure rosette to the bottom.
Cut out your leaves with the green felt and glue them to the bottom of the rosette.

Here I have used mine with a $store cup and added bakers 
twine to a teabag and glued the twine to the rosette.

                              So cute !!
Now wouldn't you enjoy a cup of tea with a cute rosette
                     hanging off your cup.






When you are finished with the tea bag just cut off the string and you have a cute rosette to reuse or just display....





                     These would make cute inexpensive gifts!!

                         Hope you all are having a fantastic 
                                  creative day!!

                Thanks for stopping by and be sure to leave
                                     a comment.

ROSES ARE RED, .... AND A GIVEAWAY!

RED , RED, AND MORE RED HEARTS

     

        Down to the sewing studio and pull out my fabric.

       Red felted wool for a heart, and white for a pillow cover.
      First I went about making a pillow insert.
      Cut two pieces of lining 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches.
      Sewed all around the edge  1/4  inch and left an
      opening to stuff with poly stuffing.

     Then I cut out 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 inch front and back of pillow   


    Went to the copier and copied the french saying
           from Debbie   onto transfer paper.
      Cut out the saying and applied it to the front
     of the pillow  cover as per instructions on the t shirt transfer.
    Then proceeded to cut out a star from my felted wool.

      I punched a hole in the top and added some jute
      to make a bow.
     
       I appliqued on the red heart
      All that's left is to attach front and back 
      and leave an  opening to insert the pillow.
                Done.... 12 x 12 inch
                                               VALENTINE PILLOW

Well since I was on a role, I made some hearts and stuffed them as well.

They are already to hang since I added some jute to the top.
I left the edges raw to give them a vintage look.


Now for the giveaway. 
Can you guess the number of hearts that are in  the cloche?
