Rose Petal Ornament

Here's what you'll need to make this beautiful ornament:

• Styrofoam ball (I used a 70mm ball)
• Artificial rose petals
• Hot glue gun & glue sticks
• 2 sewing pins
• 30-35cm satin ribbon

First, glue one petal to the styrofoam ball.  This will be the top centre of the flower.

Start attaching rose petals, overlapping them as you move the ball around.  Try and work in circles, starting from the top and moving downwards.

 

Ensure that the petal at the base of the ball is glued in place completely.

Attach the ribbon using two sewing pins.  Put them in place and try hanging the ball to ensure you have the ribbon centred.  When you are happy with its placement, put some hot glue over the pins and ribbon to stick them in place.

Cut a small slit in an extra petal and thread the ribbon through it, pushing the petal right down onto the ball to hide the pins.  Glue in place.
