Jute / Burlap Rose Tutorial

Jute Flower Key Holder
           Hi friends sharing an altered wooden Keyholder featuring handmade Jute/ Burlap/Hessian Roses.
Burlap Rose Tutorial
    The Key-holder is in the shape of a house and I used loads of pearls and roses with a touch of glitter here and there!
Add caption
          The top has a Spellbinders border die as a background to which I added the roses and glittery flowers and tiny leaves[ using Memory Box Spring Border on glitter foam ]
Burlap Roses
Couldn't resist adding a tiny rabbit peeking from behind the burlap rose!
Pearl Mat roofing
The roof has a pearl mat and the picture does not do justice to capture the sheer beauty of it!
Resin Embellishment
The front door has cream resin scrolls with paper roses and a sweet hanging Christmas tree!
Clay Butterfly
The gorgeous handmade clay butterfly was sent to me all the way from Canada by my friend Pamelia !
Jute Roses
          I added bits of glitter here and there to my project since just the pink and white alone looked a bit dull!
Chipboard Peacock
            The peacock is a chipboard embellishment I heat embossed in "sparkling snow" WOW embossing powder and dressed up with shimmering colored pearls[ again part of my win from Pamelia...I am constantly amazed at the generosity of crafters!]
Glitter Foam Craft
          In front of my gate is a magical glittery border of silver leaves and flowers dotted with tiny sparkling rhinestones [ which were part of a nail art sticker set!]
Chipboard Birdhouse
         One wall of the house has a bird house [ again heat embossed with sparkling snow] on a PoppyStamps swirly curl border  die cut [ I just love this die I had won long back from Poppystamps and keep on using it in so many projects]
Clay Bird
        And of course a bird house needs a bird doesnt it! [Again a handmade gift from Pamelia]
Jute Rose
Another handmade jute rose with a different style of jute leaf
MDF Keyholder
And this is the key-holder before I dressed it all up!
Jute Roses
The other wall of the keyholder has a beautiful resin angel and more jute roses
Resin Angel
        All the bits of glittering silver leaves and tiny flowers popping up at different places were cut using the Memory Box Spring Border  die.
Jute Roses
The white winged heart beside my burlap rose was made using white glue sticks and a silicon mold.
Now coming to  the Jute Rose tutorial
Materials Required
  • Laminated Jute sheets- you need to use the laminated ones like I did in an earlier Jute flower tutorial otherwise your roses would be frayed !
  • Scissors or a BigZ cutting die if you have a die cutting machine [ thin dies wont cut the thick jute]
  • Glue Gun - I have found that the glue gun is the fast and best adhesive for Jute.Other glues are simply messy and will test your patience!

 Burlap Rose Tutorial
         Now I am sharing a photo of my favorite Paper cutter which is a guillotine cutter by Deli. I have had so many crafters mail me and even call me up regarding guidance on the "best" paper cutter.
Deli Cutter in action
         You can follow this link to my detailed post on Paper Cutting Tools ...just reiterating my love for the "guillotine" here as this baby can cut a variety of thick materials like jute sheets in no time! I bet no "trimmer" can do that! And dont be scared by the name "guillotine" though the blade is sharp there is a safety latch which allows you to safely store this cutter! And lastly .....No, I am not associated with "Deli" or any stores which might be selling this brand of guillotine paper cutter !
Jute Squares
I cut up an A 4 size jute sheet into 2 x 2 inch squares just to make my die cutting quicker! If you are going to be hand-cutting your flowers you dont have to do this!
Die cutting with Big Shot
         I used a design in the  hugely popular Tim Holtz Sizzix BigZ Tattered Florals die to make the roses in this project. You can actually adapt it to any other design!
Jute Flowers
         You need to cut only need 2 flowers to make one Burlap Rose and believe me I made all the Jute Roses in this project using a single A 4 sheet of Jute...isnt that crazily economic!
Burlap Rose tutorial 
           The above picture shows how I cut tear drop petals from the leftover part of my die cut flower.
           Yeah not only do I like to really stretch my craft supplies  [though jute is not very expensive ]but the corners of those squares really help one to cut "teardrop" petal shapes!
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
           To make a rose you need 3 tear drop petals in addition to the 2 whole flowers
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
Use your scissors to cut between 2 petals to reach the center of one flower as shown above
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
From the other flower cut out a petal
Jute Rose center tutorial 
Apply a dot of hot glue to the broad part of this petal and roll the tip to wards it as shown above to form the center of your rose.
Stick the 3 petals you had cut earlier around this center [ sorry no pic of this step but you can see how it looks  in a later photo.
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
Apply hot glue to a petal adjacent to the slit on the flower you had cut earlier and stick the adjacent petal over it
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
On the 2nd flower too ,apply glue to the petal adjoining the cut out area and stick the adjoining petal over it .
You will get 2 cup shaped flowers with 5 and 4 petals respectively
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
Apply a bit of hot glue to the larger flower and stick the smaller one inside it.
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
Stick the central bud inside using hot glue and your rose is done....Easy wasn't it ?
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
        For those of you who dislike using the hot glue gun because of the inevitable burning while crafting ...the best part of this tutorial is that since jute is such a thick material even clumsy , "in a hurry" crafters like me can avoid burnt fingers!
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
Well now I have to show you the actual Key Holder part !
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
        Inside the Keyholder , I added a couple of funky elements like a silver cloud [ with more pearls!] , a glass butterfly , a metal butterfly charm, paper roses and more jute roses.
 Burlap Rose Tutorial
         In keeping with the upcoming festive season, I added a hanging silver ornament! And in the center you can see my favorite PoppyStamps swirly curl border die cut too!
Glitter Foam Ornament
I hope you liked my Jute Rose tutorial and all the pearls and little tidbits I added to this Shabby Chic project!
