DIY Valentine Bouquets

p>Valentine’s day is all about spreading love and appreciating those you love the most. In the weeks leading up to Valentine’s day, shops are filled with gifts for loved ones, restaurants have special Valentines menus and well, florists are overworked. However, although we are surrounded by love, not everyone gets to feel appreciated. Perhaps it’s by choice or maybe there are different circumstances, but being lonely on Valentine’s day isn’t ideal. That’s why many choose to spend the evening with accompagnatrici savona savona escorts to you and I. Even if you are to spend a night with a escort, to make the night even more romantic, treating your companion to a gift of roses will certainly go down well. Nothing says romantic like a gorgeous display of red roses. This year take your Valentine’s Day bouquet to the next level by dressing it up in beautiful paper and a silk bow.

Wrapping paper or kraft paper

Let’s get started:

Step 1. Cut a large piece of wrapping, or kraft paper.

Step 2. Lay the paper print side up on a flat surface.

Step 3. Fold your non-woven sheet at an off-centered angle, and layer it on top of your paper.

Step 4. Create your first layer of roses by following this pattern from left to right: single spray rose stem, two long stem roses, single spray rose stem, two long stem roses, single spray rose stem.

Step 5. Create your second layer of roses by following this pattern from left to right: single long stem rose, single spray rose stem, single long stem rose, single spray rose stem, single long stem rose.

Step 6. Create your last layer of roses by placing three long stem roses, and a single spray rose stem at the base of the bouquet.

Step 7. Begin creasing, and folding the outer edges of your paper inward.

Step 8. Take your ribbon and tightly tie it around your bouquet a few inches below the base of your bottom blooms.

Step 9. Tie a knot, then create a bow. For a romantic and luxurious look, leave the ribbon extra long.

Step 10. Trim the ends of your ribbon at a downward angle.

Step 11. Cut straight across the bottom of your paper.

Step 12. Adjust any roses that are out of place by pulling upward or downward on the stem. Try not to touch the actual petals, as they will bruise.

Step 13. Pull out and fluff your non-woven paper at the base of the flowers.
