rose tutorial

This post is mainly for my grandma and Kamie...or anyone else that's interested.

Here's the stuff you'll need:


 -cellophane paper cut into squares (dollar store)
-sticks or dowels (Michael's)
-leaves off of a stem of flowers (dollar store)
-floral tape (Michael's)
-Hershey's kisses


 Take 2 kisses and wrap a square of cellophane around it


Stick one of the dowels up along the kisses (inside the square) and hold tight



Start wrapping the floral tape around the bottom of the Hershey's kiss, while holding everything together


Add a leaf or two (if you want) as you're wrapping the dowel with tape


 Wind all the way to the bottom, cut the tape, press firmly at the bottom to make it tight and stick together.

You then can arrange them however you want.  This year I wrapped mine with ribbon and a bow.  


Easy peasy, lemon squeezy...and super cute too.
