When I first put my Ingonish Beach Counterfeit kit together, I mentioned that I wanted to have a go at making some ric rac roses that I had seen online. There was a lot of interest in the comments and then I panicked that I wouldn't be able to find where I had seen the tutorial or the gorgeous results.
Thank goodness for Pinterest! I knew that it would come in useful one day rather than just being a time sucker and sure enough, there was the tutorial pinned in my account.
So before I forget, here is the link to these stunning roses and such a great tutorial:
Anyway, I followed the easy instructions and even did it without a sewing machine which took a bit longer but was in a strange way, somehow calming!
I am pleased with the results although now I've made them, I wonder if they are too big (dimensional) for a layout and maybe I need to find another use for them.
The pink and cream turned out really nice although the shiny thread was a bit more tricky to control. The white standard ric rac gave another effect and folded out differently.
They take a bit of practice to get the twisting right at the beginning and the petals rolled out correctly but I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Definitely something to add to my list of achievements!
Once again, if you are interested in trying these for yourselves, check out the link below:

ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about scrapping to music too. Some days I'm in the mood for complete peace and quiet and other days I like loud music - Thin Lizzy at the moment!
These are beautiful! What a great idea!
