Rosette Brooch

This is a fun Valentine project that even the kids can do, but adults will love it too. Make pretty rosebuds to wear on your lapel for Valentine's Day.

You will need

• Crepe paper streamers
• Stiff green felt
• Pin back
• Hot glue

What you do

Cut a piece of crepe paper streamer about 3.5 feet long. Fold one third of the streamer down to shorten the width.

Begin rolling the paper up, pinching at the bottom with your fingers as you go.

Continue until you have rolled the entire length of the crepe paper.

Cut a piece of stiff green felt into a basic leaf shape.

Cut a couple of extra single leaves and hot glue them to the others.

Holding the rosette in your fingers, flatten the bottom by pushing it down onto the work surface. Tack the crushed end with hot glue if needed.

Hot glue the rosettes to the leaves.

Glue a pin back to the back of the felt leaves.
