I promised you more trees and guess what? This baby requires no sewing! I have been thinking that my ruffle tree was looking a bit lonely on the bar all by herself so…
Don’t they make a cute couple? I think so!
Here’s how I made my rosette Christmas Tree!
I started with a grapevine tree I purchased at Hobby Lobby for $3.50. I wanted the vine to show a bit under the rosettes which is why I went with this rather than foam.
For this tree I used 3 different fabrics. I used the same burlap and drop cloth canvas I used on my ruffle tree and I also used a ticking fabric I found at Joann’s.
I cut strips of each fabric about 1 1/2 inch thick and about 14″ long. Then I used my rolled rosette method I shared here to make my flowers!
I would make about 8-12 at a time and then cut them out.
Once I cut them out I glued them to the tree. I had no pattern in mind… Just used the old eyeball method.
More progress…
I did this all the way to the top. I won’t lie… This wasn’t the fastest project I have ever done. It did take the better part of an afternoon and evening to get these flowers all rolled. But… I am so pleased with the results!
Here was the top when I finished the flowers.
You can leave it like this or if you like twine as much as I do you can finish off the top with it. I used twine to wrap the top and add a couple jingle bells.
I did like the look of my other trees on the base so I filled the inside of this tree with styrofoam and attached a base just like I did on the ruffle trees.
That’s it! If you own a hot glue gun, you can make this tree! Once you finish your tree you will be a rolled rosette champion! Here’s a few more pictures of mine…
Hope you like them!! Remember… Directions for the rosettes can be found HERE!
Thanks so much for stopping by! We have some really exciting things happening this week on the blog so stay tuned!
Have a great week!!
