WHAT YOU NEED
To start, you'll need to get one "6 Pack of Clicked Blank Roses". The kit includes all the leather needed and six floral wires. You will also need rubber bands, spray bottle or dye, floral tape and needle nose pliers. We also recommend paint, stamps or other customization tools you prefer.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bend and fold the tips of the wires to create a small "knot" at the tip to hold the leather petals in place.
2. Case the leather petals and give 3-5 minutes for the water (or dye) to saturate the leather entirely.
3. Slide the petals up the stem, through the hole in the center and form them, using rubber bands to secure each layer as you go. For the final row, form the leaves into a "V" shape, and do not rubber band. Allow to completely dry.
4. If you have floral tape, push the petals up the stem as far as possible and use the tape to wrap below the final row, to secure them in place.
Optionally, if you find the rubber bands are too noticeable, you can snip them out at this step.
5. Arrange the flowers in a vase of your choosing and enjoy! If you would like to make this leather vase, scroll up to download the pattern and follow along for the instructions as follows!
