Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare or Make the Rosette

You can either make your own paper rosette or use a premade one. If you’d like to make your own, here are the instructions. Cut four 6×6″ pieces of scrapbook paper, and fold them all accordion style.

Hands placing a sheet of red, white, and blue chevron-patterned scrapbook paper on a cutting mat, preparing to fold it into a rosette.
Hands arranging two white sheets of paper side by side on a cutting mat to demonstrate paper size or folding technique.

Fold each one in half and glue them together so they make a triangular shape like shown.

After all four of them are folded and glued in half, using hot glue, attach all four pieces together, to make one large circle rosette.

2. Decorate the Center

Using punches, create circles out of coordinating scrapbook paper and corrugated cardboard, and glue them onto the center of the rosette. Layer embellishments like the blue gingham bow, a wooden button or star to give it that dimensional charm.

4. Finish the Base

Add glue around the base of the dowel and insert it into the wooden spool. Wrap the wooden spool in ribbon or a printable label. Secure with hot glue and tie a gingham bow for a farmhouse-style finish.
