Difficulty: Moderately Easy
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)
Step1
Cut the satin into 4-inch wide strips, across the grain or width of the fabric, approximately 45 inches.
Step2
Fold in half lengthwise with right sides together. Sew with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Step3
Turn the tube right side out. Do not press.
Step4
Cut the tube into 6-inch long sections.
Step5
Gather a piece of the satin tube around one end of the stem floral wire.
Step6
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.
Step7
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.
Step8
Secure the leaf to the wire by continuing to wind the floral tape around both wires.
Step9
Continue wrapping the floral tape to the end of the floral stem wire.
Step10
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.
Step11
If desired, tie a ribbon onto the floral taped stem.
