Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hershey Kisses
• Florist’s sticks
• Double-stick tape
• Scissors
• Green florist tape
• Red cellophane
• Scissors
• Ruler or tape measure

1. 

   Using a small piece of double stick tape, attach the bottom ends of 2 Hershey Kisses together.

2. Cut a piece of red cellophane into a 5-by-5 inch square.

3. 

   Place the 2 attached Hershey Kisses in the cellophane with the tip of one of the kisses in the center.

4. 

   Fold the cellophane over the top of the 2 kisses. Then continue to wrap the cellophane over the kisses, so that the edges of the cellophane meet at the very bottom of one of the points of the Kisses.

5. Using a 3-inch piece of the green florist tape, wrap this around the end of the opened cellophane to securely seal the Kisses inside of the cellophane. This forms the rose itself.

6. Gently insert one of the florist’s sticks into the base of the rose, being careful not to insert the stick into the Kiss itself.

7. Use the florist tape to attach the florist stick at the base of the rose. Then continue to wind the florist tape in a diagonal manner down the florists stick.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use any type of Hershey Kiss candies.
• Use different colors of cellophane to make a beautiful, multi-colored boquet.
