Henri Matisse remarked that “There is nothing more difficult, for a truly creative painter, than to paint a rose, because before he can do so, he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.” But what if learning how to make a rose brooch can trigger memories of all the roses one ever saw?

Roses have long been a symbol of love and even so of that of beauty. I’m glad that I learned how to make a rose brooch because I feel that they are the ultimate spring accessory as they make the wearer feel young, cheerful and beautiful. Whenever possible I wear real roses in my hair but I also love wearing fabric, leather or metal rose jewelry. But there are times when a real rose nor a silk flower will do, times when you require something a little more fun – a little more quirky. These painted canvas roses are perfect for such occasions. Apart from being made into a brooch, they can also be make into hair clips or pendants by changing the findings used. Plus they are a great project to do with kids over an evening. Here is how to make one for yourself.
