Instructions:
- Cut a piece of wire and bend it in half.
- Using the color for your rose blossom, wrap a loop around the wire loop and tack down the ends with some glue.
- Start wrapping the crepe paper around the wire loop using a wrapping and folding motion as you wrap it around.
- Once you have a rose shape that you like, cut the crepe paper and glue the end down.
- Pinch around the bottom and shape everything up a bit.
- Cut a piece of green about 12-18 inches wide.
- Starting at the base of the rose, add a dot of glue and begin wrapping the green crepe paper around the base of the rose.
- Continue down the stem about half way then set it aside.
- Cut two strips of green, each about 6 inches long.
- Fold each one in half, then fold the top corner of each to create a triangular looking edge.
- Hold the strips against the stem, with the triangle “leaves” sticking out the sides and continue wrapping around the stem.
- Once you get to the bottom of the stem, add a dot of glue and wrap the rest of the green around the bottom, taking care not to leave any sharp edges sticking out.
- Shape the leaves, stem, and rose as needed and you’re finished!
