How to Create Rosette Garland:
Begin by cutting out several dozen rosettes. Accordian fold each one, then bring together and glue as it forms a circle.
















Push down the center of the circle so that the fluted edge faces out. Add a drop of hot glue to the center and let dry.

















Cut out a simple flower to glue over center. Then adhere to a piece of twine or string.
