Aloha!
Since the Rose is June's Flower of the Month,
and there are like a bazillion things to read, inspire, decorate, etc. with roses, I thought today it would be fun to do some
Crafty Rose Things!

Marvelous talent!
Let's get out the super duper crayola box
we should all have:

Austrian Brier Rose
You could also use watercolor pencils easily with any of these color-your-own designs.

Next is a lovely Rose pattern to use
with the iris folding technique.
Use different shades of papers to get beautiful roses
of all different colors!
Remember to choose 3 - 4 different papers,
but in the same color group.

Here is a bead pattern of a rose:
Here is a lovey cake with roses on top.
You could easily do this with silk roses,
or be elaborate and make frosting roses!
Next up is a charming paperdoll
to personalize and color yourself:
Lots of Roses!
Thank you to OrigamiBears
for sharing her fabulous collection of paper dolls!
Take a peek at these lovely beaded felt roses for sale
Her work is just gorgeous!
Next I have a couple of vintage labels.
You can purchase fabric that will go through your printer! Download any rose picture, or vintage label like this one, and print it onto the printer friendly fabric! Then simply applique the print onto anything of your choice!
Some ideas:
t-shirts
aprons
pot holders/tea towels
curtains
child garments
a fabric parasol
vest, or shirt
pillow
tote bag
The Vintage Workshop has many different kinds of fabrics and papers that you can print on.
They also sell beautiful designs to use.

That should be plenty
to get your creative cap on!
Be bold.
Fear is not in our vocabulary.
Try something new!
Try something outside your comfort zone,
outside what you already know how to do.
Experiment!
Play!
and most of all,
don't forget to giggle.
