Thanksgiving Paper Rosette Wreath Tutorial

I've had so many requests for a class on how to make a paper rosette wreath like the one featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog. The day has finally arrived! Join me on Saturday, November 12 at noon. Details HERE.  Instead of using the Gently Falling stamp set, I used French Foliage for the leaves. Instead of Hand Penned for the sentiment, I used Day of Gratitude. If you haven't ever made a paper rosette before I would suggest watching this video by Dawn Olchefske, or checking out Aly Schilling's tutorial.

I've included a list of materials that I used to make the wreath pictured above. Feel free to use it for a class or you can order any of the Stampin' Up! supplies from my website at http://www.krisk.stampinup.net. The larger rosettes are made using Stampin' Up's Simply Scored tool and the smaller rosettes are made using the Big Shot and a non-SU Sizzix die. 

To make the large rosettes, I used a piece of 2" x 11" and a matching piece of 2" x 5" card stock. Using the Simply Scored, score the strips every ¼”. Fold accordion style. After accordion folding you will need to adhere the end of the 12” strip to the 5” strip to make one long strip measuring 2” x 17” in order to make a large Size 1 Rosette (see photo below). Glue the ends together like a bracelet. Have your matching scallop pieces ready with glue. Push your rosette bracelet down flat and it will pop into place so to speak. Attach the matching scallops to the front and back center with adhesive to hold the rosette together. Then, embellish the rosettes as shown in the photo below.

To make the frame: Wrap a piece of grosgrain ribbon around the wire frame and secure the ends with a hot glue gun. Leave a small opening for hanging and tie a bow through with a separate piece of ribbon.  Use a got glue gun to attach your completed rosettes to the frame with the bow at the top.

Stamp leaves from the French Foliage Stamp set in Pear Pizzaz and More Mustard. Cut out the stamped leaves and attach behind the rosettes with Mulitpurpose Adhesive.

To make the sentiment: Stamp sentiment on 3-7/8” x 1-1/2” Naturals White Card Stock and cut the edges to points. Score a line above and below the sentiment. Tear a piece of First Edition DSP and attach behind the sentiment. Embellish with two leaves and a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim. Attach to completed wreath. Happy Stamping!
