The rosettes were
simple to fashion. Cut three one-yard pieces of cording and braid them
into one cord. Use hot glue at each end to hold the braid together and
prevent fraying.
I considered many
ways to hold the braid in the circular shape, while still having the flexibility
to mold it on-site into a perfect circle which has a bit of a dome on
the front for a three-dimensional look. Hand stitching or hot glue may
have been too stiff or would have broken.
I opted to use one
inch safety pins to hold the braid in the circular shape. As I shaped
the circle, I used the pins to hold the layers together. It took onl;y
a handful of pins for each rosette. The end result was a stable, but flexible
accessory which could easily be attached to the treatment.
