Roly Rosie Projects

The projects that I have to share today use the new fabric roly rosie flowers to make matching head and wristbands.  I'm really getting into the whole hair accessory thing so I started a "Hair Accessories" label on the side bar of my blog so they would be easy to find. 

To create this XL fabric blooms, I used three - four rolled flowers.

Directions:
1.  Roll 3-4 fabric blooms with Fabric Petal Rolling Tool.  Once each bloom is removed from the tool, set it on a flat surface and let it unfurl as it wants to.  The longer it sits, the larger it will become so start with your bottom layer first.  Roll the fabric so the pattern is rolled inward.

Notice how they are all different sizes.  The newprint one was rolled first and hence has unfurled the most. 

2.  Starting with the largest bloom and your i-Bond Tool (glue gun), layer the flowers, one on top of the other, securing with hot glue and you go.

So far, I have only put glue on the circle pad at the bottom.  I will attach all the side pieces as needed at the end.  This will allow me some flexibility to shape my flower.

3. Continue adding layers until you have the desired fullness.

At this point, you can add another tightly coiled flower like I did with the wristband or add a fabric topped brad like I did with the headband.

4.  To make fabric topped flower center use i-Top Tool, a small white flower and gems.

I like to wrap the flower around the top piece of the twist (brad or snap) daddy myself so I can really pull that flower tight and then I insert it into the tool. 

It will look something like this when you are done.  Because the flowers have holes in the center, I cover those with gems.

To Assemble Headband: 
Put a hole in the center of the XL flower made above and thread it onto the screw post of the headband.  Top with custom flower center.  Note:  I used hot glue to adhere mine as the headband was made with larger size twist daddies.  Add ribbon details to complete hairband.

To Assemble Wristband:
I had a premade one so I just added to flower to jazz it up a bit.  If you don't already have a band, you can make one by sewing a length of elastic to sheer ribbon.

And here they are being modelled:

I'm thinking I may have to make some more headbands to go around as everyone wanted a chance to wear this one.

I have another fabric roly rosie project to share but I'll wait until tomorrow.  Be sure to check back then.
