Glamorous Roses



Are you looking for some accessories for your Christmas party? These roses will make everything look glamorous. You can put it on your shoes, make a broche with it, make a ring with it, decorate your bag, etc. 
The roses are really easy to make it takes about 15 minutes.

Materials:

  • Spare leather pieces
  • Double sided tape


Method:

1. Cut various sizes of leaves out of leather. The 2 smallest sizes can be connected together so it will be easier to roll them up later.











2. Heat up the edges with a flame to make them curl. The bottom side will get a little bit burned but that is fine










3. Put some double sided tape on the first 2 leaves...

4. And then roll them up.












5. Put some double sided tape on the 3rd leave and roll it around the first 2 leaves. Continue these steps until all the leaves are finished.

 









Another type of flower:

1. Cut a leather strip and make little cuts over the whole length. Put some double sided tape on top.












2. Roll up the strip until its finished.












3. You are done! Another flower!
