Make this adorable rick-rack rose...it takes about 15 minutes and all you need is rick-rack in the color of your choice, some straight pins, thread, needle, scissors, ruler, and your crafty hands!
The first thing you need to do is measure out the rick rack. I used about 35", if you wanted a smaller rose use less.
Once you have the length you want to use fold it in half.
Start wrapping the pieces of rick rack around each other all the way to the end...I pinned the end down and the middle so that it was easier to wrap and would not twist on me as I was wrapping.
When you get to the end trim the pieces of rick rack.
You will start at the end of the rick rack and roll it.
keep rolling it until you reach the other end of the rick rack and fold the end to the bottom of the rose.
I then took 2 straight pins and pinned the rose together so that it would stay in the rose shape while I sewed the rose together.
Take a threaded needle and sew the rose together. I made sure that the needle went completely through the whole rose a few times. Take out the straight pins and make sure that the rose is held together with the thread you have sewn. If needed sew a few more stitches to sturdy it.
I decided to hot glue the rose onto a bobby pin. To finish off the back I cut a circle of material out the same circumference as the rose and hot glued it to the bobby pin. You can sew these cute little roses onto clothing, headbands, make a rick rack bouquet in all different colors...you name it!
If you want a smaller rose use less rick rack, shorter length and smaller width rick rack.
