Things You'll Need:
- Satin (any rose color)
- Silk or paper rose leaves on a wire
- 18-inch stem floral wire, cut in half to make two 9-inch pieces
- Floral tape
- Ribbon (optional)
-
Step 1
Cut the satin into 4-inch wide strips, across the grain or width of the fabric, approximately 45 inches.
-
Step 2
Fold in half lengthwise with right sides together. Sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
-
Step 3
Turn the tube right side out. Do not press.
-
Step 4
Cut the tube into 6-inch long sections.
-
Step 5
Gather a piece of the satin tube around one end of the stem floral wire.
-
Step 6
Begin securing the satin to the ribbon by wrapping the floral tape around the satin and wire. This is a little tricky but make sure the floral tape is tightly wound on both the satin and the wire. Eventually the satin and wire will become one unit.
-
Step 7
Approximately one-half inch down from the start of the floral tape, slide wire of the silk or paper rose leaf next to the floral stem wire.
-
Step 8
Secure the leaf to the wire by continuing to wind the floral tape around both wires.
-
Step 9
Continue wrapping the floral tape to the end of the floral stem wire.
-
Step 10
To form the rose, turn the unfinished edge of the satin to the inside. Fluff and adjust the satin slightly until the rose shape is apparent.
-
Step 11
If desired, tie a ribbon onto the floral taped stem.
