Supplies:

• Styrofoam Ball
• 2 dozen stems of silk rose buds

Low Temp Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Directions for making with silk flowers:

You can insert a few leaves between the roses for added color.

Directions for fresh flowers
You will doing the same as above but instead of a Styrofoam ball use an Oasis foam ball for fresh flowers. Also instead of using hot glue to hold your flowers in place use greening pins instead.

If you want to carry your rose ball you can easily make a handle. Use ribbons or jute. Measure desired length x 2 and add 3 inches for the knot. Tie into a loop (double knot). Hold in place with greening pin.  Then hot glue another greening pin over the top.
