Instructions:
1. Emboss all of the 18” of
velvet for the rose with the “Square
Border” stamp. (Or use a stamp
of your choice).
- Lightly mist
the backside of the velvet.
- Place the stamp image, rubber
side up on your ironing board.
- Lay fabric right side down against
the stamp image.
- Now press the iron to fabric,
hold for 10 to 20 seconds and lift
up the iron carefully, being careful
not to move the fabric. A little
trial and error will make you an
expert.
- If you have a problem with steam
holes showing you may want to buy
one our irons with no steam holes.
2. Emboss
the leaves onto the green velvet.
This time you will spray the velvet
and then lay down the fusible web.
Cover that with protective paper
that comes with the fusible and
the iron for 10-20 seconds.
3. Cut another piece of the green
velvet out about the size of the
leaf. Lay it right side up on the
embossed leaf and cover with a piece
of brown paper from a grocery bag
or a press cloth. Iron for 15 seconds.
4. Cut
out the leaves which are look two
sided. Leave a little tab at the
base of each leaf to secure it at
the stem. Set aside.
5. Remove the wire from the ribbon
and fold the rose ribbon in half
or at least fold down 1⁄4
inch.
6. Take one end of the ribbon with
the widest embossed side on the
outside. Also keep the wired edge
of the ribbon. Begin to wrap around
the green florist stick. Continue
until all the ribbon is used. Hold
the end tightly and use a piece
of discarded wire to wrap around
the base of the ribbon to secure
it in place.
7. Use the green
florist tape to cover the bottom
and as you wrap around the stick
wrap. Attach leaves as you want
them and use the little tab to tuck
under the green florist tape.
