Rosette 009 - Resin Applique for Furniture & Crafts
This classic rose appliqué is perfect for adding a soft, romantic touch to your furniture and décor. With its full petals and trailing leaves, it looks beautiful used on its own as a little focal point, or grouped in twos and threes for more impact. It also coordinates perfectly with the pieces in our Floral Applique collection, making it easy to build a layered, garden-inspired look.
Use Rosette 009 - Resin Applique for Furniture & Crafts on drawer fronts, cupboard doors, keepsake boxes or the corners of a mirror or frame. Cluster several together to create a rose “spray” on a headboard, blanket box or feature panel.
Dimensions:
- Width: 9 cm
- Height: 6 cm
- Depth: 1.5 cm
Styling Tips:
- For a soft French cottage look, paint your piece in a pale neutral or pastel, then dry-brush Old White across the petals so the rose looks like aged carved timber.
- Create a feature drawer by placing a single rose in the centre, or three in a row, and pairing with simple knobs so the flowers do the talking.
- Love a little shimmer? After painting and waxing, tap a touch of Copper or Silver Gilding Wax just on the petal tips to echo metal handles or hinges.
- Try grouping roses with floral swags or wreaths from the same collection to design your own custom bouquet across a panel or cabinet front.

How to Use Your Applique
Application Instructions
Application Instructions
Here’s how to get the best finish from your applique — it’s easier than it looks, and a little care goes a long way.
- Clean the surface: Give your piece a quick wipe so it’s free from dust, wax, or residue.
- Lightly sand glossy finishes: If it’s shiny or high‑gloss, a gentle sand helps the glue and paint grip properly.
- Make it flexible (optional): If you’re working on a curved surface like a pot or table edge, warm the applique in hot water or gently with a heat gun — it’ll become pliable enough to create a slight bend.
- Glue and secure: Add a little wood glue or strong craft adhesive to the back, press it into place, and hold it with masking tape while it dries so it doesn’t shift.
- Paint: Once it’s set, paint with your chosen colour — Annie Sloan Chalk Paint or Fusion Mineral Paints both give that beautiful, soft matte finish.
- Add detail: Brush a touch of gilding wax or dark wax over the raised areas to bring out the design’s depth and character.
- Seal: Finish with clear wax or a gentle topcoat to protect your work and give it that lovely, finished feel.
These appliques are wonderfully versatile — perfect for furniture, mirrors, terracotta pots, or cabinetry.
FAQ
FAQ
Can I paint straight over the applique?
Yes, absolutely. Once it’s glued and dry, you can paint right over it using chalk, mineral, or acrylic paint — whatever suits your project best.
What glue works best?
A good wood glue or strong craft adhesive will do the trick. If you’re working on something that might live outdoors, go for a waterproof option.
Can I trim or reshape it?
You can! Resin appliques can be gently trimmed with a craft knife or fine saw before painting. Just take your time and work carefully.
Can I bend it for curved surfaces?
Yes — if you’re working on a pot, curved drawer front, or table edge, warm the applique in hot water or gently with a heat gun. It’ll soften and become pliable enough to create a slight bend that fits beautifully.
Do I need to seal it?
If your piece will be handled often or exposed to moisture, sealing with wax or a matte topcoat helps keep it looking beautiful for longer.
Is it okay for outdoor use?
Yes — just make sure it’s sealed properly and protected from direct weather. A little care goes a long way.
