I keep searching for simple instructions on how to make potpourri roseballs and i cant find anything on them. I really want to make some for gifts, does anyone know how?
I found this don't know if its what you are looking for Rose Ball Bouquet - Favor - Decoration- Use these wonderful rose balls for decorating, as bouquets or favors. Easy and inexpensive to make. Try using dahlias or carnations for a different look. The trick is get the flowers as close together as possible when you are placing them into the ball. Use fresh or silk flowers.
Supplies:
Styrofoam Ball 2 dozen stems of silk rose buds Tools needed: Low Temp Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
Directions for making with silk flowers: Pull the roses off the stems or use a wire cutter to remove -leaving a 1/4" on each. Using a toothpick make a hole in the Styrofoam ball for each rose bud you are attaching. Then fill with a dot of hot glue - place the rose in hole. Let dry. Continue adding roses until the ball is filled. You can insert a few leaves between the roses for added color.
Directions for fresh flowers You will doing the same as above but instead of a Styrofoam ball use an Oasis foam ball for fresh flowers. Also instead of using hot glue to hold your flowers in place use greening pins instead.
To make a handle
If you want to carry your rose ball you can easily make a handle. Use ribbons or jute. Measure desired length x 2 and add 3 inches for the knot. Tie into a loop (double knot). Hold in place with greening pin. Then hot glue another greening pin over the top.
