I've always liked fabric jewelry. It's not only soft and comfortable to wear, it also uses up scrap fabric and can be color coordinated to outfits. Heidi over at Sew, Craft and Create has a really pretty rosette bracelet tutorial which does just that.
Another plus is her use of a jewelry component. You could always recycle an old earring or a vintage brooch. She uses a serger for the edges of the fabric strip but an ordinary zig-zag stitch will also work. Make several rosettes and you've got yourself a bib necklace!
This lovely Prada inspired rosette and rhinestone earrings tutorial is by Erica over at Honestly...WTF. She used resin rosette and a rhinestone frog closure. I am thinking one could make holes through resin rosettes with a heated awl if the holes were not there.Other rhinestone clusters can be used too.
Tatum from K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Sister) did put several rosettes together for her flower brooch tutorial. What is so cool about this design is it re-purposes old tights!
Mndy-made has a smaller project, a rosette ring made from ric rac. I personally don't like ric rac but the way she formed the flower made me change my tune!
This sweet rosette polymer clay tutorial is easy even for beginners. It is by Meredith over at Haute to Sew. As this one is so small, earrings are also possible.

I have another rosette pattern on my website: http://sewandso.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/1912-titanic-sewing-project-hat-embellishments-carnations-leaves-and-wired-ribbon/ These are carnations. By the way, the hat is on sale on www.sewandso.etsy.com
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute. Love the rosette bracelet.
ReplyDeleteThe ric rac rose is so sweet. Had to look twice as it was hard to believe it was fabricated from ric rac.
