Duct Tape Roses Tutorial

My grandma has discovered the world of duct tape crafts.


So, she taught me how to do duct tape roses.

Here's what you do:

Get about 4 inches of wire to tape the petals to.  She uses this old lap board to do all of her taping and measuring with.

Then start cutting 3 inch long strips for petals. You will need to cut 24. 

Now fold over like this:


and then over again like this: 


Wrap the petal around your wire.



Keep wrapping petals around as you make them:





After you have done all 24, it should look like this:


Now let's work on the petals. 

Cut a 6 inch strip of green and 4 pieces of 3 inches apiece of wire, 



Place the four pieces of wire on the sticky part of the tape, then cover with another piece of tape.


Cut leaf shapes out:



Twist the four leafs together


Then wrap the whole stem with the rose and leaves together with another piece of green


Complete!
