Day 8 ~ rose wall decor

This rose is made with a super bulky think and thin wool yarn. I secured it to a store bought burlap canvas and voila!

Day 6 ~ rose hair clip

Make the sweetest little hair clips for you or your favorite little girl. Use the Rose pattern make a little rose. Hot glue the Rose to a covered hairclip (can be purchased at any craft store) and you're done!

 

Great for everyday, weddings, birthdays, photo shoots... the sky is the limit

Day 5 ~ Rosy Tea cup

 

This cute decoration is great for a unique gift and super easy to make.

 

What you need:

 

1 tea or coffee cup (I got mine at goodwill for 35 cents)

Half a Styrofoam ball

Enough crochet roses to cover the Styrofoam ball

Rose Pattern

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

 

Depending on the size of the yarn you are making your roses with, you will need anywhere between 10 and 15 roses. Be sure to have enough yarn on hand to match your color.

How to do it make a rosy tea cup:

1. Use glue gun to glue Styrofoam ball to the top of the cup.
2. Starting at the top of the foam ball, begin gluing the flowers. Be sure to fill in all of the gaps. It is quite difficult to go back later and rearrange the flowers after the glue has dried.

That's It!

 

Day 4 ~ Rosy photo frame

Make a few coordinating roses with sock yarn and hot glue them onto a pretty frame. Create a vintage looking gift for that someone special. Put a poem or an old photo in the frame. Ta Da!
