Tutorial: Upcycled denim roses bouquet

Don’t throw away those denim scraps from your upcycled jeans projects! Use them to make some beautiful denim roses. Claire at Pillar Box Blue has a tutorial showing how to make them. I warn you this is an addictive craft, before long you will have enough flowers for a gorgeous bouquet. If you use denim in different shades of indigo this will only add to the bouquet. Individual roses can be used as napkin rings or present toppers.
