DIY Lace Rosettes

Learn how to make lace rosettes with this easy step-by-step tutorial.
Prep Time10 mins
Total Time10 mins
Yield: 1 rosette

Materials

  • 1 piece Lace at least 10 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide (if you go much wider then you have to change the way they are made)
  • Embroidery thread in the same color as the lace (I used two small strands from one piece, as I wanted it stronger than thread)
  • Embroidery needle
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Tie a thick knot at the end of your thread, and thread through the end of the lace ribbon.
  • Weave the needle in and out of the lace ribbon about every 1/4 inch.
  • Pull thread through, and continue weaving in and out.
  • At about 5 inches, straighten out the lace ribbon to make sure all the thread is pulled through and the ribbon lays flat.
  • Start pushing down the lace ribbon while pulling the thread tight – this will form the rosette. This is also a good spot to gauge how much more weaving, if any, you might have to do.
  • If it is needed, continue weaving the needle and thread in and out of the lace ribbon.
  • Once the circle is complete, lay it down and figure out where you want the ends to meet. Be sure to line up the ends here.
  • Once you decide on an ending point, thread the needle through both layers of lace ribbon a couple times to join them together.
  • Trim off the excess ribbon.
  • Finish the rosette with a knot in back.

  9. Awesome tutorial….THANKS for sharing!!!

  10. I have to make 5 wristlets for mothers of the bride & groom, a step-mother, & grandmothers for my granddaughters wedding. It is vintage theme. We had planned to use a flower with cameo brooch in the center for the mothers & regular brooches for grandmothers. I am seriously considering making these in 2 different size & colored layers with the brooches in the center. I think it would be beautiful on the antigue pearl wristlets. If she approves, I’ll post pictures.
