1. Select your flowers. Artificial roses come in several versions and colors. You can select full open roses or tight rosebuds. The color selections differ from natural tones to colors developed to precisely match your decor. To produce a more appealing bouquet, decide on a few small blossoms as well or use a floral bush that has filler such as babys breath within it.

2. Arrange your roses. If you’re using a silk flower bush, cut the flowers off from the bush. Lay down the individual stems out on a workspace and begin placing them in a nice bouquet. You should have the longer flowers on the bottom and the shorter ones at the top. Once you happen to be happy with the result, secure your bouquet with floral tape.

3. Fold wrapping paper or a large sheet of scrapbook paper into a triangle. Position your taped bouquet on the paper with the roses over the wide edge, creating a diaper effect and secure with a small drop of glue. For added appeal, tie a ribbon around the small end of the bouquet.

This quick project produces an instant Victorian inspired arrangement that is nothing like most available in the marketplace today and since you are making it yourself, you are able to make it as unique as you want. This is great for fireplaces and shelves. Now that you know how easy this project can be, why not get started on your own silk roses bouquet today?
