Make a Miniature Trailing Rose Bouquet

Pretty paper roses can be used for more than floral arrangements. If you practice your technique you can make dainty bouquets to decorate parcels, cakes, or use for miniature weddings. With Mother's day coming soon, you may know someone who would appreciate a tiny bouquet for a special day!

These bouquets are made with the same technique used to make their full sized cousins. If you need a larger bouquet, follow these instructions with silk flowers, or real flowers that are wired to allow them to be shaped.

I'd love to see photos of any bouquets you make by folllowing these instructions. Please post photos in the miniatures forum for everyone to enjoy!
