A bouquet of fresh roses is wonderful but real roses soon fade and die. Make a rose that will last forever, or at least a lot longer that a freshly cut one. Give your rose to someone special or use it as a decoration.
Give that special someone a rose that will survive without water or sunlight. Make a rose or a whole bouquet with duct tape.
You Will Need
* Scissors
* Red and green duct tape
* Floral wire
Step 1: Cut tape
Cut several strips of red duct tape 2 inches in length.
Use other colors, such as yellow or white, for your rose.
Step 2: Make a petal
Fold the left corner of one of the squares, sticky side up, down towards the opposite corner, leaving some adhesive showing on the right side and the bottom.

Step 3: Attach to wire
Place the floral wire on top of the exposed adhesive on the bottom left side of your first petal. Wrap the tape around the wire.
Step 4: Make more petals
Make another rose petal. Tilt the petal slightly to the left, and secure it to the wire with the exposed adhesive next to the first petal.
Step 5: Repeat
Keep making and adding petals to the wire until you have a full rose.
Step 6: Make a stem
Cut a piece of tape twice the length of the stem. Cut or tear it lengthwise so it is one quarter its original width.
Step 7: Wrap
Wrap the tape along the wire and then cut away any excess tape.
According to fossil evidence, the rose is 35 million years old
