Heres my Make It Pink Confederate Rose.
The center of the rose is made up of three individual buds.
Take time to carefully trim around all the individual petals and leaves.

Arrange the three completed buds together to form the center of the rose.

The completed center
Wrap another piece of tape around the base of the center to hold it together.

Arrange the six larger petals with the wire stems around the clustered bud center.

Attach lg petals on long wires
Use small dabs of hot glue between the petals if you need it to form a beautiful bloom.

Finally, place a dab of hot glue on the RIGHT SIDE of each of the remaining petals. Stick them around the outside of the rose to make it fuller.

Glue on outer petals with no wire stems
Wait for the hot glue to cool before dabbing the next petal.

Add the leaves around the outer edge of the rose. The leaves also need a 12-inch piece of 22-gauge wire stuck to the backs of them first. I decided to use only two of the three leaves that I embroidered. Then all you have to do is wrap all the individual wires together to form the stem using the Floral Stem Tape. Trim the ends of the wire at the desired length of your stem before you wrap it with the tape (that way you can cover the sharp ends).
