    step eight - When you get to the last t-bag paper you will have to twist the rosette slightly enabling you to place the last t-bag so it is impossible to tell where you started and where you finished.

    step nine - Once you have completed your rosette layer mount using the blue card, silver card and the fun string. The fun string is simply wrapped around the blue card which is cut slightly larger than the completed rosette. If you are a member try looking in the Christmas section to see how to make a matching t-bag box!
