More Crepe Paper Roses

A couple of people have asked me how to add stems to the crepe paper roses for bouquets.  I tried adding wire after the roses were made, but it was hard to get the wires to hold on and not slip off.  I found the best way was to wrap a wire or chenille stem into the center of each rose.

 The roses are made exactly the same way as previously shown, you just add a piece of wire into the center of the flower before you begin wrapping.
Add wire or stem to end of crepe paper (bend end for a little more hold)




Begin wrapping crepe paper around stem

Continue Wrapping

Final wrap

Now your crepe paper roses are ready for use in :
Bouquets

Pew bows or chair decorations


Use in vases or centerpieces



Napkin rings

candle rings or decorations


These would also be great to use in hair pieces or on garland!
