A super simple fun and easy way to show your love on Valentine's Day! My middle child chose to do these for teacher gifts for Valentine's. We tied three together with twine and a little tag that read "Roses are red, violets are blue, for the World's best teacher; I choose you!"
Chocolate Kiss roses have been around for years, but just incase your not sure how these little beauties went together...here's a recap.
Supplies:
- tape or glue dots
- scissors
- florists tape
- plastic greenery
- a bag of Hershey kisses
- wooden skewers
- red tissue paper or red/pink cello paper
- Pair up all the kisses; and adhere together using a rolled up piece of tape or glue dot
- Clip your greenery. Be sure to leave a stem on the leaves. Enough to tape around so that they can be attached to the wooden skewer.
- Cut 3 inch squares out of the paper
- Carefully stick a skewer into one end of the hershey kiss pair. Then wrap the square of paper around the kisses. I put the kisses in the middle, pull down the sides and twist. Then wrap a piece of florists tape from the tip of the kiss down the stem. Add a leaf about an inch or so from the kiss and keep taping down the skewer. I unwrap a bit from the roll and start winding- never cutting it until I get to the bottom. Hard to know how much you will need per flower and it keeps it wrapped up for you so you can pull it tight.
One bag of kisses makes 18 roses and took me about 30 min start to finish.
