Last minute gifts -Organza rose {a tutorial}

Ok. I have been making a lot of these beautiful organza roses lately, so I thought why not share the how- to here.

{Organza rose}

You need:
* organza
* green fabric leaves
* pins, needle, thread

Step 1

Cut a long piece of organza; mine was 1 meter / 39.4" long and about 15 cm / 5.9" wide.

Step 2

Fold in half - the face of the fabric should be inside.
Pin and sew {*}

Step 3

Turn the piece inside out.
Ruffle it! {*}

Step 4

Make the knot and roll.

Step 5

Secure it at the back.

Step 6

Sculpt the rose.

Step 7

Secure with a pin again so that it does not get loose. Thread a needle and sew through the layers. When done, take the pins out. sew some green fabric leaves onto the back. Attach a brooch pin, and that's it!

Enjoy your beautiful organza rose. It makes a great last minute gift and you can use these for numerous projects. The below picture shows a rose made in the same way, only with sturdier and shorter piece.
