What You’ll Need:

• Time: about 10 minutes• Duct Tape• Some floral wire: found at almost

any craft store

First:

• Start by ripping a piece of duct tape off the roll that’s about 2inx2in.

Second:

• Fold the top right corner, but make sure you leave a little bit of sticky on the left side.

• Then fold the left corner in the same way, making a triangle with a bit of sticky left on the bottom.

Third:

• Wrap the side of your petal around the tip of your floral wire.

Fourth:

• Repeat steps 2 and 3.

Fifth:

• Continue this until you have a good amout of petals. You can decide when you think you have enough. Though, it should look something like this:

Sixth:• Now, take the color duct tape you want yo be your stem

color. Rip about one cercumference around the roll (or one & a half depending on how long your wire is.) Then, start wraping your tape around the top of your stem, working your way down. If you have a bit extra, don't throw it way just yet. You might need it for this next step.

Seventh:

• With your extra stem tape, wrap it around the bottom of your rose. This will help your rose to stay on better and it will look pretty.

The End!

Well, that's it. Have a ball! Or a duct tape rose! ;D
