How to Make Money Gift Roses

Give someone special a bouquet of roses worth a million dollars--or maybe a little less. You decide how much your gift will be worth and use paper money to create a unique bouquet. The person getting these roses won't have to water them, but they may want to take them apart. Read on to learn how to make money gift roses.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Floral Tape
• Floral Wire
• Dollar Bills
• Silk Leaves

1. Fold paper money in half both ways to make creases, choose any denomination. Unfold your bill and curl up each of the four edges of the bill. Make roses facing bills up or down.
2. Use a piece of floral wire about 24 inches long. Center the wire under the bill. Wrap the wire up around the bill, scrunching the edges of the bill in until you can twist the two sections of the wire together with the bill crunched up in the middle. This is the start of your rose.
3. Fold the bills edges in to resemble a cup. Repeat this process two more times for each rose. Put each cup inside the previous bill, until you have three bills stacked together with six long wires hanging down. Form the rose by folding the cup sections to resemble rose petals.
4. Twist the six wires together tightly to form one long wire bundle. Wrap floral tape around the bundle to make the stem. Use silk leaves and secure them to the stems with the floral tape.
5. Repeat the first four steps for each rose in your bouquet.

Tips & Warnings

• Use leaves from old silk flowers you don't need anymore.
• Fold the rose petals different ways, experiment until you find a way you like. There is no wrong way to do it.
• Making roses with the money facing up and down will give each their own unique look.
