With the holiday’s approaching, here’s are some super easy, dollar store project ideas that you can make! These cute and easy projects are super $1 gift ideas! Fabric Rosettes are super easy to make and the spruce up simple items and make them look cute and unique!  There are already 1000 different tutorials for fabric Rosettes (Just Google it if you don’t believe me) so this is not a tutorial for that.

But in case you haven’t seen one, here is Rosette making in a nutshell:  take a strip of fabric, ruffle it, then wind and rumple and smoosh it round and round itself until you have something that looks sort of Rose-like.  Or, you come out with some other shaped wad of fabric that you are happy with!

You have to stitch it together with a needle and thread as you go so it keeps it’s shape.  You can sew a button or bead in the middle if you want that look.

Now that we have the Rosettes down.  Here are some REALLY INEXPENSIVE Gift Ideas that you can make with them!
