My brother-in-law just returned home from a mission in Brazil last week & brought his sisters these adorable rosette necklaces...
I instantly fell in love!
Thanks for modeling Emily:)

With a closer look, we discovered the rosettes were made of ric rac!
SO CUTE!
I had to make one for myself, so I went to the store and bought the colors that were on Clearance
(because I'm cheap)
(because I'm cheap)
pulled out some thread & some beads that I found for 99 cents on Clearance at Walmart...
and started rolling the ric rac...
see how they EASILY make an adorable rosette?
see how they EASILY make an adorable rosette?
I doubled my thread and cut it a bit larger than the size I wanted my necklace. I didn't do a clasp of any sort, so I just made sure it would go over my head after I knotted the thread at the end. I started by adding beads & then rolled my first rosette, stuck my needle through(before cutting off the excess), then cut off the end of ric rac & added a few more beads...
and then repeated the ric rac rosette in a new color...
and now I have my own necklace & I think I have begun a ric rac obsession!
This was my 1st one I completed & I have already made 2 others in different colors, using a variety of bead colors/shapes and patterns.
Thanks for your inspiration Brazil!!!
A few tips if you are going to try one...
-You might want to get some fray check, the ends of mine are starting to fray.
-you might want to add a little glue as you roll your ric rac. I didn't, but if you don't, just make SURE your needle goes through the center of your ric rac, so it doesn't unravel at all.

This looks wonderful! You did a great job! And I had no idea how easy it was to make rosettes. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for joining me for Friday Favorites!
I love these fabric roses, thanks so much for sharing. I am going to make some for a bead project I have on the design board. There just what I needed.
Love your blog, I just found you through your link up with punkin seed productions. So cute.
I tried to make this today and I couldn't get my need through the ric rac!!! Was that part super hard? I actually broke 2 needles!
Super cute idea, I had to share on my blog:
http://www.esbechic.com/1/post/2011/01/ric-rac-rose-necklace-diy.html
Love this!! Its being bookmarked for future use! Thanks for sharing!
Such a cute idea. I will be trying this soon.
this is super cute!
in terms of fraying, most rickrack now is polyester, so you could just singe the ends. it's only if you're using vintage rickrack that you'd need to dig out the fraychek!
Very awesome! I will be linking from Dollar Store Crafts!
This is such a cute idea! All my rick rack is printed polka dot. I wonder how that would look. I guess I better find out :)
so cute and what a great way to use ric rac. Thanks for the tut
This is a great way to use the ric rac ribbons! I love it!
