Rosey Kisses Tutorial


 

SUPPLIES
2 Pieces Chocolate Kisses®
6" Bamboo Skewer
Green Floral Tape
Clear or Red Cling Wrap (6" square)
5/8" Green Ribbon (1 piece 2" long cut diagonally)
1/4" Green Ribbon (3 pieces 1-1/2" long cut diagonally)


Hold flat ends of chocolate pieces together; place one end in the center of cling wrap. Cover entire "bud" with cling wrap. 

Place the "pointy" end of the skewer and one of the 1/4" green ribbon pieces at the base of the "bud." Secure these by wrapping green floral tape around them (two or three times around the base should do). 

Add the remaining two pieces of 1-1/4" ribbon, evenly spaced; secure them with floral tape.  


Continue wrapping the tape around the skewer until 1-1/2" is covered.

Fold one end of the 5/8" green ribbon in half and place it along the bamboo skewer. 

Secure it in place by continuing to wrap the floral tape around it.


Continue wrapping to the end; cut and secure. 





Use one or two 5/8" green ribbon for each stem.






TIP: Using the floral tape will make your hands sticky. Try having a small bowl of talcum powder handy. This should take care of most of the sticky residue left on your hands.
