Using Floral Tape to Create Inspirational Gifts

Hi, Everyone!

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Judy and I began my hobby as an artist at a very young age. 

I've started this blog to connect with other artists and to share my inspirational gifts with everyone! It is my hope to give you insights and tips as to creating unique gifts for your loved ones. 

So who doesn't love a bouquet of flowers, right? I sure do. What do you think of these? :)

Ribbon Roses, One of My Inspirational Gifts

On the left is a bouquet of what I call Ribbon Roses.

 Using what I call the Wrap and Roll Method, I used one hand to gently tug at the floral tape (still on the roll), while wrapping the wooden skewers I used for stems.

(Note: you can use anything for stems. I chose to use wooden skewers.)

If you want to make your roses look more real pull a part a silk flower leaf garland and use the leaves for the Ribbon Rose leaves.  When your bouquet is complete, wrap the rose bunch in a  shimmering green fabric to add beauty and charm. 

I chose to set the whole bouquet in a green decorative vase and gave it to my mom as a get well gift in the hospital and she loved it. 
It now adorns her kitchen table!

I hope that you found these tips helpful and I look forward to sharing more with you in future posts!
