Required Materials:

• A piece of old denim (preferably non-stretch)
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun or strong adhesive
• Blue fabric strips (for making the stem)
• Thin wire (for supporting the stem)
• Pencil and ruler

Steps to Make:

Cutting the Denim:

• Use a pencil and ruler to draw six petals of different sizes on the denim, gradually decreasing from large to small.
• Cut out the petals with scissors, ensuring the edges are as smooth as possible.

 

Wrapping the Stem:

• Tightly wrap the wire with blue fabric strips and secure it with hot glue. This not only looks attractive but also adds stability to the stem.

 

 

Treating the Petal Edges:

• To give the petals a natural look, gently scrape the edges of the denim petals with your fingernail or the edge of the scissors, making them slightly curled and frayed.

Rolling the Flower Center:

• Start with the smallest petal and roll it into a small cylindrical shape, securing it with needle and thread or hot glue. This forms the center of the rose.

 

 

 

Preparing the Wire:

• Cut the thin wire to an appropriate length to serve as the stem.

Adding Petals:

• Sequentially add the petals from smallest to largest, surrounding the center. Secure each petal with hot glue or needle and thread. Slightly offset each petal to create the natural layering of a rose.

 

 

 

Adding Leaves:

• Cut a few leaf shapes from the remaining denim or blue fabric and attach them to the stem to give the rose a touch of vitality.
