Difficulty Level: Easy... and I mean EASY! If you can use glue you can complete this project!
Price Range: Freeeeeeeeee
So, this project has been done many times before by many bloggers so I am going to keep it short and sweet. The canvas rosettes are made from scraps cut down to about one-inch in width and 18-36 inches in length. The longer the strip of fabric, the larger your flower will be.
I started with this:
Added some hot glue and ended up with this:
Oh, and there may have been a second-degree burn or two involved. I can sew. I can paint. I can manage an auger with the best of them. God help me, I can not use a glue gun. Burn myself EVERY TIME!
I have placed these rosettes on lampshades, decorative pillow cases, purses, and even pinned one to a sweater. The possibilities are endless and no matter how you incorporate them, you will be in style.
Blessings,
Jen
PS Has anyone ever made a dog bed? My husky has made it perfectly clear she wants a BED. Her dog pad is simply not cutting it anymore and she has moved into our weenie dogs bed. I now have a disgruntled husky and ticked-off weenie. I need some suggestions!
Glad to know that I am not the only one always burning myself with the glue gun. Beautiful flowers!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, I just found your blog through The Shabby Chic Cottage. I love your canvas series. Blessings!
ReplyDeletejust popped over from The Shabby Chic Cottage. Great series on canvas. Wow, you really did a lot of stuff with it.
ReplyDeleteNow about how to make a dog bed. Katrin Cargill has a book you could probably get at the library. It's called Simple Home Furnishings and she shows how to make a dog bed in that one. Easy peasy. Good luck!
email me, I can dig up the pattern and directions and you can sew up a new doggie bed.
