Up cycled Valentines present :)

MrsTinks

This was made from a tray I found in a charity shop, ribbon (LOTS of ribbon!), glass pearl beads and my trusty hot glue gun

I did They took a while lol! And used up all my spare cream ribbon *yikes* so now I'll need to pick up some more... bah humbug lol

How cool! I've seen roses piped onto cupcakes which look really good, but did not know you could make roses out of ribbon. I've obviously led a very sheltered life . Is it difficult?

Not particularly... very ribbon intensive! And you can either do it using a hot glue gun for those ones or with needle and thread for a slightly different type of rose

I love that!

Absolutely beautiful, Mrs T.

The roses are made of 2 sliiiightly different cream ribbons - I quite liked the effect to be honest - looked better than a uniform cream Currently on the hunt for enough black ribbon to complete my black ribbon wreath for Valentines... could prove tricky though!
