Felt Roses Picture Frame

Hey guys!  Just popping in with a quick project idea for you.  Remember the felt roses tutorial?

Well, today Tyler and I ducked into Pier 1 to avoid driving home in a thunderstorm and I saw this felt rose picture frame.

Sorry this picture's not the best.

Naturally I thought of our felt rose tutorial!  It would be so easy to achieve this look on your own.  Simply make enough felt roses and hot glue them onto an unfinished wood picture frame from Michael's or Jo-Ann (they usually cost somewhere around $1 to $2).  You could paint the wood frame a color using acryllic paint, or just leave it wood.  Easy as pie!

Hope you're gearing up for Fourth of July with lots of patriotic craft projects.  See you again soon!

Tutorial: Felt Roses

Hi y'all!  As a continuation of our MayFlowers event, today I'm going to teach you how to make a felt rose.

Roses can be classic and sophisticated when made in natural colors, or fun and spunky if made with unnatural ones, making them perfect accents for everyone's lives.  Try an unusual color like purple and put it on a hair clip or brooch to make a fashion statement.   Or use them as decorations.  Make enough of them to cover a heart-shaped wreath, or stick a few of them tightly into a box like this:

I think a bouquet of them would make a really nice addition to a little girl's dress up set to go with a play wedding dress.  With so many options, you'll want to make hundreds.  And I've got good news for you.  They're super simple to make and it only takes a few minutes.  So let's get started.  Read on after the jump for the tutorial.
