Most of the links I've found via Sandra's blog but I did find this one today over at Lime Tart. Nic Aspinal is the queen of handmade roses and this tutorial is hers. (PS. She's coming to the E2C retreat too.)
I've seen a tutorial on Scrap-a-little that is very similar but uses ribbon instead of PP. 2 complimentary ribbons are sewn together, twisted, and shaped into a rose in the same fashion as Nic's. This one does need a stitch here and there to hold it all in place. Lurvely.
I made these one's last week in Lincoln and that turned out fantastically.
I have wondered if handmade blooms have become really popular due to Prima's being so damn expensive, but so drop dead gorgeous. Hmmmmm......
