Then I cut out three circles - 7" x 7", 9" x 9" and 11" x 11" which makes up the three layers of the stand. Cut in slits on the top so that I can put them in place on the dress form stand. Top layer is silver, middle is red and the bottom is black.
Nothing is glued into place or secured and that is why it looks all a bit wobbly and off balance. I unfortunately cannot put this together permanently as it has to be posted to South Africa!!
The next step is adding lace and trim with sequins to the edge of each layer.
However, as you can see in the last photo, you can see the hot glue used to attach the lace and trim. Did not like this so I decided to make more roses and decorate the inside of each layer to hide the glue.
ONCE AGAIN WHAT WAS I THINKING!!! Does not matter how much work and time it took to make enough (100 odd) roses, I really like the outcome and am glad that I lost sanity for a day and made all these roses:
I cannot wait to see what this all looks like once put together. The party is only in January 2013 so I have quite a while to wait to see it complete but because of the time period it takes to get to South Africa by post it was important to get it done now!!
Please let me know what you think!!
