Instructions:
1. Prepare the Roses:
- Remove the leaves from the stems.
- Cut the stems to the desired length, typically 12-18 inches.
- Gently bend the stems to create a natural, flowing appearance.
2. Attach the Floral Wire:
- Insert the floral wire into the base of a rose.
- Secure the wire with a few wraps of floral tape.
- Make sure the wire is the same length as the stem.
3. Create the Petals:
- Cut out petals from the rose petals.
- Use a paintbrush to paint the petals with a light wash of color, such as pink or peach.
- Allow the petals to dry completely.
4. Attach the Petals to the Stem:
- Push the petals onto the floral wire, starting from the base and working your way up.
- Secure the petals with a few wraps of floral tape.
- Adjust the position and angle of the petals for a natural look.
5. Add Floral Foam:
- Fill the base of the stem with floral foam.
- Use a floral foam applicator to distribute the foam evenly.
- Allow the foam to dry completely.
6. Secure the Stem:
- Use floral wire or a floral tape to secure the stem in a upright position.
- Trim any excess stem.
7. Finishing Touches:
- If desired, paint the stem and petals with a sealant to protect them from moisture.
- Add a few drops of essential oil for a fresh scent.
Tips:
