|Rose Ball Bouquet - Favor - Decoration-
Use these wonderful rose
balls for decorating, as bouquets or favors. Easy and inexpensive to make. Try using
dahlias or carnations for a different look. The trick is get the
flowers as close together as possible when you are placing them into the
ball. Use fresh or silk flowers.
Low Temp Glue Gun and
Directions for making
with silk flowers:
|Pull the roses off the
stems or use a wire cutter to remove -leaving a 1/4" on each. Using a
toothpick make a hole in the Styrofoam ball for each rose bud you are
attaching. Then fill with a dot of hot glue - place the rose in
hole. Let dry. Continue adding roses until the ball is filled.
You can insert a few
leaves between the roses for added color.
Directions for fresh
doing the same as above but instead of a Styrofoam ball use an Oasis foam
ball for fresh flowers. Also instead of using hot glue to hold your
flowers in place use greening pins instead.
To make a handle
If you want to carry your
rose ball you can easily make a handle. Use ribbons or jute. Measure
desired length x 2 and add 3 inches for the knot. Tie into a loop (double
knot). Hold in place with greening pin.
Then hot glue another greening pin over the top.
