Decorative Mesh Rose

Materials:

Instructions:

Cut a strip of red mesh 5” wide.
Cut a 15” piece of floral wire.
Fold top right corner down at inward angle.
Starting at the edge roll the craft stick 2” inward, creating the center of your rose. Secure by twisting floral wire around.
To create a petal pinch a 2” piece, fold away and down and twist flower toward the petal. Secure by threading wire through.
Continue making petals, overlapping to create a rose.
Wrap remaining wire around the craft stick.
Wrap floral tape around the wire and half way down the craft stick.
Cut three 6” pieces of floral wire for the leaves.
Using a green square, fold one corner to the opposite corner then fold each side corner in to create a leaf.
Using the folded sides facing down, place the leaf 1” under the petals and wrap a 6” piece of floral wire around to secure the leaf.
Repeat for other leaves.
To cover up the wires and mesh, wrap the floral tape all the way down to the bottom of the craft stick to create the stem.
