Chocolate Kiss Roses

Don't you just love Chocolate Kisses??? Years ago, when I worked in L.A. and took the train - - I'd make these Chocolate Kiss Roses. I'd start making them in January, because I sold them at local store. By the time Valentine's Day rolled around I not only was making them for the store, but also for the commuters. It was a great way to spend an hour and a half on the train plus I made a little extra money.

Anyway, I was trying to think of something fun to do with Rainee for Valentine's day, when I remembered these, Chocolate Kiss Roses. And since I was making them with Rainee I thought you might just like to make a little bouquet for the special people in your life. Rainee has now decided she wants to give some to her teacher... so I'm making more!
Materials needed: Chocolate Kisses, glue dots, floral wire, floral green tape, wrapping paper cellophane, scissors and ribbon.
  • Cut cellophane in to approx. 5" squares.
  • Cut floral wire in to approx. 8"-9" strips
  • Put 2 Kisses bottom to bottom with glue dots
  • Wrap cellophane around Kisses
  • Wrap floral wire around cellophane end to hold them together
  • Bend the rest of the floral wire in half
  • Wrap floral tape around wire to finish off roses
  • Make bouquet as large as you wish and tie with ribbon









For the leaves you can... make your own, use silk ones or leave them plain. You can make a simple bouquet with a ribbon, arrange them in a vase, put them in a 'flower' box or wrap them in tissue... however you give them, are sure to be loved....  Happy Valentine's Day.
