- Knot the end of a 1.5 inch wide wire edge ribbon
- Pull one of the wires at the other end of the ribbon and gather the ribbon along the wire
- Beginning just after the knot, roll the ribbon round a pencil to create a tight center. Leave the knot alongside the pencil and below the roll.
- Remove the pencil and continue rolling the gathered ribbon around the center to form the rest of the rose. Wrap the pulled wire tightly around the base of the rose, above the knot, to secure the creation
- Grasp the center of the rose with needle-nose pliers and twist to tighten.
- Flatten the rose and mold to an attractive form.
