Day 16 ~ Broach

Sew or glue a pinback to the backside of a crochet rose. This one looks great on a black top or blazer. I have also used it to pin a scarf. Options are limitless!

Day 14 ~ vintage look rose bracelet

 

Crazy day yesterday so I am a day late getting this posted but it is so pretty and worth the wait!

 

I got the bracelet from at Hobby Lobby from the jewelry line "Fairy Tale" by bead treasures. There are others available that are a little more simple which would look amazing as well.

Day 13 ~ rose from new yarn at joann fabrics

Made a small rose with this yarn. H-hook. Have mixed feelings about the thick and thin yarn but the feedback I have go own from others is great!

Day 7 ~ rose gift embellishment

Make a rose clip and use it to dress up a gift package. Not only is your wrapping absolutely beautiful but the clip can be  reused. :-)

Embroidery Floss Roses ~ Day 3

Embroidery Floss Crochet Roses

 

 

 

Using embroidery floss instead of yarn makes some amazingly cute petite roses. Great for hairclips, pins, rings, or any kind of decoration. 

 

What you need:

 

1 skein of embroidery floss (8.75 to 10 yards)

E hook (smaller if you want but this is the size I like to use)

Embroidery needle

 

Ch 29, dc in the 5th ch from hook, *Sk 1 ch, dc, ch1, dc in next st*. Repeat to the end of the ch. Ch 2, turn

 

5dc in the first ch sp in the previous row. Sc between the two dc (see picture). *6 dc in the next ch sp. Sc between the next 2 dc*. Repeat to the end. Finish off leaving a 6 inch tail.

 

 

Starting with the end of your lace strip that you just finished, roll up the strip like a burrito. Use the long tails to sew through the base to hold flower shape.

 

Rose Ring ~ Day 1

Crochet roses are amazing and can be used for so many different purposes. I am partial to using sock yarns and embroidery floss for my smaller roses.

A great way to display these pretty things is to create a Rose Ring. You can buy the ring bases at any craft store for a few dollars. There are usually multiple rings in a pack so you can make Rose Rings for your friends as well.

The quickest way I have found to attach the finished roses to the ring is with a hot glue gun.
Total time to make a ring: 20 minutes for the rose. 2 minutes to glue it to the ring base. Ta Da!
