Hello

I am Hani, from Craftionary

I have a wonderful Husband whom I'm married for 2 years and together we have

the most adorable bundle of joy; our baby boy

I love to craft and enjoy other people's wonderful ideas too. Just keeping things organized and

knowing my own creativity; led me to blogging. Since my boy is young and hyper active

I work on projects that are safe, as he grows so will we grow @ Craftionary

Thanks Stacy for having me here, I am so excited to share my tutorial on Nylon Roses

. So, lets get started

ROSE is a wildly cultivated, usually prickly-stemmed, pinnate-leaved flower. It belongs to the Rosa family and is a type of shrub. It is found in almost every beautiful color except for green.

Roses grow in every season. And with plenty of sunshine and good growing conditions, roses can add elegance to any landscape. It is also known as the"Queen of the flowers".

THINGS YOU NEED:

Ring size 6
White and red stocking net
Floral tape
Nylon thread
Stem wire
Wire
Plier
Napkin/ tissue paper
All purpose school glue/ glue stick

For complete nylon material information see NYLON MATERIAL

GET CRAFTY:

Cut the napkin in half and then fold it to form the bud of the rose. Apply glue on the napkin, place the stem wire over it, at one end and roll. Keep shaping the bud while wrapping. Stick the end when your finished. See the picture below:

Now wrap the white/ red stocking net over the bud 2 or 3 times.

Follow the instructions for making petals and assembling the flower in the post Basic Nylon Flower
Thread a petal to the bud and shape it; as shown below:

Now thread all the remaining petals; in the order 3-4-4. (i.e 3 petals gathered around the bud closely, next 4 petals a little opened and then the last 4 petals completing and forming the rose). Wrap floral tape around the wires.
