This rosette wreath is so easy to make! The flowers — you can make them easily no mater what type of fabric you want to use.
For this one, I used several different textures including burlap, tweed and a sheer ivory fabric. What pulls it together are the beads. They really give it the finishing touch you want.

MY LATEST VIDEOSSUPPLIES
Metal 12″ wreath
1 1/2 – 2 yards of fabric (use mixed textures – I used 1/2 yard of burlap, tweed, and sheer)
Burlap Ribbon
White pearl beads
Hot glue gun and glue
DIRECTIONS
The first step is to completely wrap the wreath with the burlap ribbon. Use a dab of hot glue to secure the end (make sure you do so on the back so you do not see where it ends.
Next, it’s time to make the rosettes. You may will need several of them so you can fill in the entire wreath so it is full. For this one, I ended up making around 45 – 50 of them.
To make a rosette, tear the fabric into strips around 2″ wide. Next, wad up one end of the fabric and then wrap the remainder of the fabric around and around itself until it looks like what you see in the images. This may take a couple of practice runs to get it just right. You can also watch a short video to see how to do this as well.
Once your rosette looks the way you want, hot glue it to the wreath in a random pattern. You don’t want to have a set pattern or it will not look natural.
The final step is to glue small pearls to the center of around 3/4 of the rosettes. Now, you’ve got a gorgeous wreath to hang on your door, or anywhere in your house.

I love this! Can you tell us where you purchased the materials? Looking to make this as inexpensively as possible 😉

It looks like you could go to Joann’s and purchase the items for relatively cheap. The frame – 18 inches diameter, is 3.49. The fabric probably would not be very expensive and you can always check out Walmart or another discount store. Even Dollar Tree has glue guns and refills. If you really want to get thrifty, see what items you have in your closet that would work instead of buying fabric. A chiffon blouse you no longer wear might work instead of sheer material. 😉

I went to Walmart this morning and got everything on the list except the tweed ( they were out) but found another cute fabric instead. I also bought enough to make two. One in the same colors as pictured that I’m giving as a wedding gift and the other I got red burlap and red shear and that one will be for me. But everything together including the fabric glue and 1 wooden letter was right at $45.00. I’m also thinking there will be enough left over to possible make a third one. Will update and post pucs when I get them done this evening.
P.S. it would probably be a good idea to pick up some scotch guard to spray it down with.I forgot to pick that up.
