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.



{*} Here you can find the instructions on how to sew a ruffle .
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

    So beautiful Maya - I never thought to make a knot for the center - that is so very clever as well to add shape.

    PS never heard of Pink House, I am off to explore further!

    So pretty! What a lovely tutorial. Did you do anything to the ends to keep the organza from fraying more?

    @Serendipity:
    That's a great question, and I should have mentioned something about it.
    The answer is no; I didn't do anything because the fraying part was inside (in the tube)one of the ends is made into a knot and the other end - the one that is left is covered by the leaves so there is no worry that it'll fray. However, to prevent organza from fraying it is advisable to singe the ends/hem.
