Step 1: Cut several strips of duct tape - about 2 inches each. Step 2: Sticky side up, fold one edge over itself, leaving some stickiness on the side and bottom. Step 3: Take the parallel edge and fold it over, leaving only stickiness on the bottom of the strip. Step 4: Roll this across tightly; this is your center. Step 5:Repeating steps 2-3 with strips of duct tape, loosely bind the strips around the center (these are your petals). Continue until you've reached the desired size. Step 6:For the stem, take a thin piece of floral stem wire, and a large strip of duct tape (the duct tape should be about a 1/2" shorter than the wire). Place the wire on the strip (parallel) and roll the wire across, wrapping the tape tightly around. Step 7:Insert the end with the 1/2" of wire
(the end that doesn't have tape on it) into the rose. Make a petal
(steps 2-3) and secure the stem to the rose. |
