Halloween Rosettes

I had some extra fabric left over from the Halloween rag wreath I made so I wanted to make my girls some rosettes for their hair. If you don't know how to make them already they are really simple. Not only do they look so cute in your hair but they look cute on wreaths, pillows, and I've even seen them on lamp shades. So if you don't have girls you can make them for tons of other things.

I got the brads at Walmart in the craft department and the clips that you glue on the back I got a box at Sally Beauty Supply.

I found a video tutorial on Cherry Street Cottage. Even though my sister taught me how to make them (thanks LeeLee!), this video is pretty darn close to how I learned. So, call me lazy but I decided to give you the link instead of making a video myself. :) I could have taken pictures to show you each step but it's so much easier watching someone actually do it so I thought this video was more helpful.

A couple things I do a little different than the girl in the video:

*I use FABRIC GLUE, not hot glue. That way you won't burn the "you know what" out of your fingers!
*When you fold your fabric in half before you actually start your flower, glue your fabric together. That way you won't have to worry about your fabric coming apart as you are trying to make your flower.
*When you are all done cut a small circle of fabric and glue to the back of your flower to hold it all together a little better.

Good luck!
