lydilala asked: Hi there, I really need some help! I am getting married next year and trying to do it cheaply. I want to make my own artificial roses for it and wondering could you help me find a good tutorial? Was thinking making them out of silk? Thank you!!!! <3

Hey! I can definitely help you out :) Not all of these ideas use silk, but I’m pretty confident you could substitute silk for most of the ones that use fabric.

  • First up are these felt roses. I know the brown is a little boring, but I think they’d look way prettier with another color:

  • I looove these hanging rose orbs:

They’re made with crepe paper, and look pretty simple. Not to mention they’re super pretty. (tutorial here!)

It’d be awesome to use a book that both you and your fiance love :) (tutorial here!)

Congrats on getting married, btw! I really hope these ideas helped & inspired you. 

Feel free to ask me for any other ideas! I’d love to help.

Good luck!
