rosette wreath gift

a dear friend of mine commented on my FB about how she loved the rosette wreath and wanted one for her condo. i decided that i would be honored if i could gift one to her..made with love. she has an extremely endearing story behind wanting this hung up on in the inside of her front door and it made me all the more determined to put all my love and care into this piece. with every twist of the crepe paper, i thought about her love story and her dedication to roses...no pressure, right? i hope i can do it justice.

i've put in the order for a 10" wreath form. surprisingly these things are so hard to find! the one i have is an 8" form and to be honest, i think it'll be a tad small. so 10" should do it. beyond that, i've already twisted 243 feet worth of crepe paper roses (3 rolls of streamer) and hot glued them shut. i've got an abundance of hot glue gun so once my wreath form arrives next week, i'll start snipping the stems of the roses that i have and if i need more, i'll just continue with the twisting. so far, the roses are turning out FAR better than the ones i made my wreath with. hallelujah!
