Make Mini Roses for Your Doll!
What you will need for these crafts are...
-For one rose, you need a red pipe cleaner and a green pipe cleaner.
You will probably want to cut the green pipe cleaner in half, so it doesn't have a REAAAAALLLYYY long stem! ; )
Lets get started!
1) Take the red pipe cleaner, and bend and twist an end around the top of the green pipe cleaner.
2) keep doing this in a circle platform, until it looks like this...
3) Now, keep curling it, BUT curl it closer to the middle. A bit like a dome:
Until... Ta da! Tuck the end of the rd pipe cleaner still exposed into the rose. You can play around to make it better- I made the top a bit smaller by pinching. Speaking of pinching, here's a bonus if you want leaves!
1) Make a triangle in the green pipe cleaner like so...
2) Now pinch both sides of the triangle firmly together:
There you go! A complete rose ( I just added another leaf)
Morg LOVES her roses- they're so sweet smelling! You can make a vase for the flowers with a cardboard cylinder from a toilet paper roll, and designed paper to make the vase more pretty. She claims they spruce up her desk (though she couldn't find a lot of room for them on her messy desk! ; )
I will be making a tutorial as well for making that little clipboard you see above^^^^^
Bye for now,
