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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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! :)
