Skill Level

Beginner

Approximate Crafting Time

20 minutes

Step 1

Take your straw and cover it in tape (lengthwise works the best). This step is completed best if you roll the straw across the tape, sticky-side up.

Step 2

Cut several strips of duct tape - about 2 inches each.

Step 3

Sticky side up, fold one edge over itself, leaving some stickiness on the side and bottom.

Step 4

Take the parallel edge and fold it over, leaving only stickiness on the bottom of the strip.

Step 5

Roll this across tightly; this is your center.

Step 6

Insert the center piece from Step 5 into the top of your straw.

Step 7

Repeating Steps 2-4 with strips of duct tape, loosely bind the strips around the center (these are your petals). Make sure to adhere the petals to the both straw and the center piece from Step 4. Continue until you've reached the desired size.

Step 8

For the leaves under the rose, repeat Steps 2 - 4 with the same color that you used for the stem. Wrap these pieces around the stem at the base of the flower to cover up the tape edge.

cool

No, it's not too hard-- I've made them before. However, it takes a LOT of petals to get a nice, full look. When I make duct tape flowers I don't use straws because I consider them too flimsy. I usually use a floral stick (found at most craft stores). You could use a pen, too, and make a pretty little rose pen.

Just reading the instructions it's hard to picture whats being said. Maybe some pictures of each step will make it a little easier.Thanks

theyre actually really easy, they just take a lot of time

I make these all the time, only insted of a straw I unwind papercilps, and build off of that. I do it because you can posistion them any way, make leaves to branch off the stem and even make corsages. My friends have fallen in love with them and I make about 7 a day. Each friend gives me $2.00 for it, even when I tell them it is a gift...

This is a neat project. I wish I joined the group sooner. I guess I will have to make them for Easter or Mother's Day instead now.

pinkfaekitten | Date Added: 2/21/2010 1:44:00 PM

this is a little more time consuming then I thought and it takes a TON of tape 2 get a really nice full look

shaeshae92 | Date Added: 2/27/2010 7:26:00 PM

Really cool but it takes alot of time and they will only sell for a low low price

drummerboy | Date Added: 2/28/2010 5:33:00 PM

i found a rad way to make duck tape flowers, somtimes it looks like a tulip or a rose, kinda cool. and for the stem you can just roll up the duck tape and wrap it tightly and its sturdy and bendable.

XfreakandL0vin-itX | Date Added: 3/4/2010 7:57:00 PM

it takes a little time and you have to practice but other wise it is the best
