Ruffles and Roses

 I tempted you a bit on Tuesday showing you the tutorial on how to create faux ruffles so today I've got the finish project to share with you.  I of course used my Cheery Lynn Dies and KaiserCraft latest collection, Tea Party.  

I love how girly this looks with the ruffles, the color pink and of course the handmade roses.

Faux Fabric Ruffles Tutorial

Today I have a quick little tutorial to share with you for making faux fabric ruffles.  

Step One: Cut card stock with a border die of your choice.  I used the Anastasia Border B136. 

Step Two: Spritz water on the front and back of your paper and let it soak in for a minute.

Step Three: Pinch and gather your paper along the top, letting the bottom ruffle out.  You could use tweezers or a piercer, but I find it’s just as easy with my fingers. 

Step Four: Slightly pull out to the desired look and let the paper dry completely.  If you want to speed up the drying time you can use a heat gun.  

Here is an example of the ruffle applied to a project.  Check back Friday for the finished project and to see how I used the faux fabric ribbon.

I love, love, love the latest collection from KaiserCraft, Curiosity.  It really is stunning.  I love the colors and the combination of themes with the collection and I'm sure you'll agree. 

Be sure to check back throughout the week as I have several tutorials coming up for you.
