Materials you will need:

• colorful plastic bags
• skewers.
• styrofoam
• vase
• scissors
• glue gun

The Process:

     1.    Prepare all of the material

2.    Cut out the red plastic into 4 cm, 5 cm and 6 cm for petals, then the green plastic into 1,5 cm to cover the skewers and 5 cm to make calyx.

    3.    Cut out a set of oval petals (count on 10-12 petals per flower, depending on the                     desired fullness of your finished roses).

4.    glue the cupped petals onto the rose one by one, rotating the flower and sighly overlapping each petal edge over the last petal. 

5.    Slip the calyx onto skewers, then glue.

6.    Cover the skewers with green plastic, then glue.

7.    Roll the edges of the leaves with glue around the skewers to complete the flower. 

8.    Put the styrofoam into vase, then thrust the flower into the styrofoam.  

9.    And it has done.
