A very special guest post:

----Take it over "20 Something!"----

Hello Momma Hen readers!

My name is Brooke and I blog over at 20Something Designs. My blog, it's got a little bit of everything going on. I share recipes like Spicy Ranch Crackers,

I'm crafty when I want to be ;-)
like when I shared my window fame to picture frame,
and sometimes I just talk about life in the country.

Today I'm going to share with you how to make a bouquet of fabric roses!

First gather all your scrap fabric.

Next cut strips of fabric about 1.5 inches x 44 inches (44-45 inches is the standard width for most fabrics)

(I folded mine over a bunch of times so I wouldn't have to make such long cuts.)

Next (on one side of the fabric) sew a line. You can use your sewing machine or a needle and thread.

I just used a needle and tread. Simply tie a not in on one end of the thread and stitch back and forth along one edge while slightly gathering the fabric onto the thread.

You will end up with ruffles that look like this.

Now turn on that glue gun! Once it's heated add some glue to the end of a dowel rod.

(I got a package of 20 or so dowel rods at Hobby Lobby for around $1)

Starting at one end of your fabric wrap the fabric around the dowel rod gluing ever so often.

You will end up with a rose looking fabric flower like above!

Keep going until you have your desired bouquet! I know just the place I want to put these too! I'll be giving a tutorial on Monday as to where my bouquet's are going! Stop on by!

Once again thanks to Momma Hen for having me!
