And the How to Make Boxes From Paint Swatches from How About Orange:

I tried 3 different sizes - 4x4, 3.5x3.5, and 3x3...

3.5x3.5 to me turned out to be the best size...

The instead of drawing a swirl on my felt, I just starting cutting circular from the outside to the inside of the square...

Trimming off the outside end that was square-ish.

And started rolling the flower from the outside to the inside...

The perfect little middle piece got a dab of glue...and fit perfectly to finish the bottom of the rosette...

4x4, 3.5x3.5, 3x3...

The bottom...

And then I tried the paint swatch box using what I had at home to try!  

They go so well together;)!

But then I thought, hey, I kind of really like all this fabric rosette jewelry I've been seeing on etsy and such!  So I found my piece of doily lace stuff...

Figured out where it would fit best to have a little "leaf" left on a side...

Cut it down and hot glued it to the back...and found twine that I also hot glued to the back...

And thus a rosette necklace was born!  Not sure if I really like the twine or not with it...might be a little too Mary Jane's farm...but for now I'll take it...or make the rosettes into a brooch later!  

Any of your pinterests craftings you've been trying out lately?  Let me know your link if I'm not already following you!  I love sharing these great tutorials (and then doing them!)...

Also...did you ever try the July craft challenge fun?  I could yell loud curse words at my shirt currently, but I'll finish it up by Aug 1 and share it with you next Tuesday!  Here's the link - you've still got time to try it out (shirts like these are usually $4 or less when thrifting!) and send me a photo if you do it so we can share our craft winnings and failings together:)
