I had some bouquets of dried roses that were taking up too much room, but I couldn't throw away for sentimental reasons. So I decided to make little ornaments with the roses to have something nice to keep.

Description

I had some bouquets of dried roses that were taking up too much room, but I couldn't throw away for sentimental reasons. So I decided to make little ornaments with the roses to have something nice to keep.

Instructions

1. 

   Pull off the outer petals of the rose blossoms. The best roses to use are the ones that are the fully open. These roses are miniatures so I made the ornaments small. Cut out a small cardboard circle the size of the ornament you want.

2. 

   Put a dab of glue on the back of the petals.

3. 

   Start gluing petals in a circle around the edge of the circle. Wait for the row to dry.

4. 

   Glue another row of petals in a circle in the center of the decoration.

5. 

   I like to glue something interesting in the center. Here I glued tiny matching jewels in the centers. Then glue ribbon to the back of the decoration.
