A couple of people have asked me how to add stems to the crepe paper roses for bouquets. I tried adding wire after the roses were made, but it was hard to get the wires to hold on and not slip off. I found the best way was to wrap a wire or chenille stem into the center of each rose.

Crepe Paper rose with stem |
The roses are made exactly the same way as
previously shown, you just add a piece of wire into the center of the flower before you begin wrapping.
|
Add wire or stem to end of crepe paper (bend end for a little more hold)
|
|
Begin wrapping crepe paper around stem
|
|
Continue Wrapping
|
|
Final wrap |
Now your crepe paper roses are ready for use in :
|
Bouquets
|
|
Pew bows or chair decorations |
|
Use in vases or centerpieces
|
|
Napkin rings |
|
candle rings or decorations
|
These would also be great to use in hair pieces or on garland!

I found your site through a FB friend who posted your homemade mix recipes on my FB page. I've been in Heaven, looking through all your recipes and decorating ideas...but now you made me remember a childhood Easter hat that my mom and Grandma made me for a school parade, using tissue paper and crepe paper for the roses. Lol.
I love your recipes and decorating ideas, and have bookmarked quite a few recipes to try on my husband. Thank you so much for having this site...it's great! I'll be back! :)
