How to Create Satin Rose Bridal Favors

These satin roses are filled with rice or bridseed and are
given as favors at bridal showers and saved for the wedding
day. When the bridal couple leaves the ceremony, the guests
open the end of the flower, toss the contents and save the
rose as a keepsake.

Materials: (for EACH rose)
3" x 3" square satin ribbon
thin wire or lollipop stick
green floral tape
silk leaf
uncooked rice or birdseed

Fold the ribbon with the wrong side facing OUT (this will
result in a double thickness of material 1 1/2" wide).

Stitch down the open side.

Turn inside out.

Insert wire and leaf in the end of the ribbon.

Wrap AND Gather ribbon close to wire.

Using floral tape, wind around gathered end snugly and
continue down wire.

Place 1 teaspoon of rise or birdseed inside open flower,
then tuck upper half of ribbon down inside to hold filler
in.
