Large Fall Rosette

Posted on November 10th, 2011

As I promised, the instructions to making this large fall rosette. It is great to hang on the front door on just on your wall.

Materials needed:
2 12x12 solid sheets of paper (same color)
1 12x12 patterned paper
5 large scallop circles 4 ½ inches color of your choice
1 Die-Cut or other large embellishment to go in the center

Optional:
Paper edger punch or patterned scissors
Score board
Distress ink
Tulle

1: Score all 3 papers at each ½ inch. Your score line will run the full length of your paper. You will end up with 23 score lines.

Tip: Score every other line. So score at the ½ inch mark first. Then turn your paper over and score at the inch marks. This will make your paper easier to fold.

2> When cutting you want to cut them so the scored lines are horizontal. Cut both scored 12x12 solid sheets at 6 inches. Making them 6x12.

3> If you want a fancy edge on your larger rosette, this is where you would cut or punch one side of each strip.

4> When cutting you want to cut them so the scored lines are horizontal. Cut the scored patterned paper to make 3 3x12 strips.

5> Now you are going to accordion fold each of your strips.

6> You are going to use all 4 solid strips for the larger rosette and all 3 patterned strips for the smaller rosette.

7> Just follow this link How to Make Rosettes by Jennifer Priest to build your rosettes. Jennifer scores her rosettes at every ¼ inch. For a larger project, the folds at every ½ inch works just as great. We are also going to use the large scalloped circle to sandwich the rosette between two circles before gluing to help keep it flat. One large scalloped on top and one on bottom of each rosette.

8> Next you can ink the rosettes if you would like.

9> If you are placing tulle between the larger and smaller rosette, you would glue it down now. I used 2 colors. I cut strips the length I wanted and glued them to the front of the larger rosette on the scalloped circle. My tulle went all the way around the rosette.

10> After the tulle is glued, glue the last scalloped circle on top or the glued tulle.

11> Glue the smaller rosette on top of the larger rosette.

12> Adhere your die-cut or other large embellishment on top of the scalloped circle of the smaller rosette.
I hope you enjoyed making this project.
