Rick Rack Rosettes

A friend gave me this flower ring and necklace, when she handed them to me I thought they were porcelain–there’s a very vintage feel to them. From a distance you really can’t tell that they’re made out of rick rack! Yes, rick rack!

She shared how to make them with me, and now I’m sharing with all of you readers! The wow of the rosette comes from a few simple steps! She found this tutorial, in Portuguese I believe.

First, cut 2 strips of rick rack. She said that the medium sized rick rack works the best–so that’s what I’ve used. No need to find out for myself, I’m taking her word for it. I cut the rick rack 10-12″, depending on how big of a flower I want to end up with.

Then twist the two pieces of rick rack together, like this.

And then run a stitch down one side to hold it all together.

Like so.

And to make the flower, you just start from one end and roll it up. I add small dots of hot glue, just to keep it all together.

Keep rolling.

Until you have this–and then tuck the little tail under and hot glue it down. I also glue a small circle of felt or fleece on the back, just to finish it off. To make your flower wearable glue it on a ring blank, a necklace, or on clips for little girl’s hair. Can you think of other fun places to put these rosettes?

You’ll notice all of the petals are closed, so to open them up you just peel them back one by one. Until it looks like a flower. As you wear it, the petals tend to close up, so re-opening it will be necessary. Unless you prefer it closed of course.

And here it is on my finger. A totally crafty cocktail ring.

Awesome.

    This is the cutest thing ever. My husband just bought me my first sewing machine and I think this might be one of my first projects. Thank you for sharing the tutorial! 🙂

    Love this! Can’t wait to make some cute hair barrettes for my daughter using this method. They would make a great bouquet if you could wire them up in some way? Maybe hold the wire in the center before you start twisting? I am thinking cute Mother’s Day rosette bouquet!

    I’ve been making theserosettes and attaching them to stretch lace and making them into bracelets for my daughters. They look so delicate on their cute little arms.

    The funny thing about it is: I’m from Brazil and saw this tutorial here first! That one you linked is in Brazil’s portuguese! I’m so proud of it! 😛

    Thank you for sharing! I’m going right now get my rick racks! 😀

    hello ladies, I loved this rosette idea, but I can’t braid my rick rack 🙁 I make a mess on it every time I try to.
    can you please help me. I really want to do it, I bought several rick rack packs and I don’t want them to get wasted.
    thanks 🙂

    This is great! Luv it!! I think they would dress up a plain purse or tote bag or of course, on wreaths. I’ve been making felt flowers. The scalloped edges really make these look nice.

    The rose is SUPERB! I might never make it as I have never seen that rick-rack in our shops, but I loved the idea.

    What I actually wanted to say was that you should never EVER apologize for what you are or what you have. Those hands you apologize for made this wonder! It is what they can do, not how they look like that really matters. And you should be proud of this!

    These are great! So easy to make…I’m making these as a part of an arrangement for my wedding decoration. Instead of going out and spending extra for a can of starch, I used hairspray that I had left over from years ago to stiffen the petals up and keep them open! Works great, I just put on a few extra layers in between dryings for extra stiffness.

    I’ve made these rickrack roses for years but didn’t think to sew one edge to keep it together just glued as I rolled. This will be far messier! Thanks!

    This is a beautiful idea! Thanks for sharing. It brought back memories of when I was a teanager and my brother and I used rickrack to gather one side and make earrings and even sold some. Back then you could buy the screw-on type earring backs and we would glue them on the backs of the rickrack. It would look like a cup and saucer. I cannot remember exactly how we made them but your idea is just great.

    thank you so much for sharing this. I have been looking for patterns to make accessories for my suit jackets and to make for my god child who wears very classic dresses but loves glittery shoes and hair bows. I can see this used either in her hair or as a shoe decoration. If you have any other suggestions kindly forward them.
