These were probably the easiest rosettes that I've ever made, and these little plastic tools are why. So these are rosette makers that I got on Aliexpress. I've been meaning to get them for literally over a year. It's basically just a little circle with evenly spaced tabs that you use to evenly pleat your ribbon into the shape of a rosette. Now, prior to this, I would typically hand pleat everything or just gather the edge, which is fine, but it's a very different look and a lot more time consuming. For reference, I think that I started and finished this one in under three minutes. And for a first time using a tool, that's pretty good. This is also the first time that I've gotten pleats this even. All of this is to say I had a lot of fun with it. Finish it up with some felt, hot glued everything in place to secure it and then just popped it off. Obviously, I couldn't just leave it at that, though. We had to add some little charms. What can I say? If it has the ability to sparkle, it must sparkle. And that was it. I am absolutely in love with the way these turned out. Don't ask me to pick a favourite, but you can tell me yours down below.
