Materials:

• Duck Tape®
• Floral wire
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Plain, thin ring
• Craft knife
• Crafting board

Instructions:

For the petals, cut a 1 in. long by 1 in. wide square of Duck Tape®. Lay this sticky side up on your crafting board.

Fold the top right corner over so there is one eighth of an inch of sticky part showing around both edges.

Fold the left top corner down so that there is one eighth of an inch of sticky side showing on the bottom.



Repeat steps 2-3 until you have 70 petals. Set these aside.



Cut a 2 in. long piece of floral wire and bend it in half around your ring base and twist in place. The twisted wire should be .75 in. long.



Wrap one of your petals around the top so the top of the wire is not visible.

Continue to add petals working the same direction. Stop at the 26th petal (blue petals show the 26th and 27th petal) skip 2-3 petals to give the heart its indent.

Skip 2-3 petals and begin building another layer of petals. (purple petals show how to place the petals to make the top of the heart)



Continue to build layers of petals until you’ve reached a desired size. Use a small piece of Duck Tape® on the bottom of the rose over the wire and ring.



Place the ring on your finger or give it as a gift!
