DIY Weekends :: glam them up!

This week, we are blooming roses. Before you roll your eyes, hear me out. I’ve just discovered that some large blooms of roses are not actually the real thing. Yes, I am slow in this… Instead they are painstakingly handcrafted blooms wrapped tightly with floral tape to create a single bloom effect.

I first spotted them on With This Ring which had a link to a simple tutorial over at Kuga Designs. Be forewarned, it is a simple tutorial but tricky once you get your hands ‘dirty’. This is probably one of those that needs a whole deal of practice to be perfect sorta thing.
