Burlap Rose Tutorial

Wanna know how to make burlap roses?  You know you do!
You can use these roses for bouquets, centerpieces and flower arrangements, wreaths, just about anything!   Use different fabrics for a completely different look!

Before you watch the video, there are a few things you should know.

1. I don't sound like a man in real life.
2. James hasn't been that quiet for 7 minutes ever.
3. It's our first tutorial video, the lighting stinks, I repeat myself several times, and it's pretty long.

That being said.... here's how you make burlap (and dropcloth, organza, corduroy and every other fabric I could get my hands on) roses :)  
Pin It!

Leen!! That was so great! (and you absolutely do NOT sound at all like a man! We never like our voices on camera.) And good job on the camera work, James!
Congrats on your first video tutorial! Ok, back to my garage overhaul. My "31 Days" might be the death of me. ;)

Great video, Leen. I've haven't tried making any of these flowers yet, although I love them. Your directions were very clear and easy to understand. Loved hearing your sweet voice!

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen!!! You actually didn't repeat yourself at all it was right to the point and just really really well done!!! I'm a scrapbooker so I will be using this to make these on a much much smaller scale and one even gonna try it with paper to see how it comes out. Thanks so Much for sharing!! :)
