Tissue paper roses are meant to last forever. They're hand-made and last much longer in the vase than real roses. Is there any lovelier way to say "I love you" on Valentine's Day?

We need:
petal templates
sturdy paper for the stencils
scissors
pencil
tissue paper
stabilizing wire length 30 cm, ø 0.8 mm
tesa® double-sided tape (transparent)
tesa® masking tape Precision INDOOR
How we do it:
011. What we'll need
Collect all items and let's start!
02
Make the stencils with sturdy paper according to the templates. Fold the tissue paper so that there are six layers and trace the petals using the stencils.
03
Cut out the petals.
04
Put a piece of tesa® transparent double-sided tape on each petal, just five for the smallest size.
05
Bend two wires in half and wind them together, making a 5 cm piece.
06
Wrap the smallest petal tightly around the thick end of the wire without any tape.
07
Attach the petals with a piece of tesa® masking tape Precision Sensitive. Then remove the anti-adhesive film from the tape and attach the five small petals at various angles to the middle part and press the bottom ends into the wire. Attach the petals with a piece of tesa® masking tape Precision Sensitive.
08
Repeat with the mid-sized and large petals. Attach the finished flower to the wire.
09
Then wrap the stem with tesa® masking tape Precision Sensitive.
10
The easiest way is to hold the tape roll between your knees and turn the wire with both hands so that the tape wraps around the wire.
11
Press the tape into the wire and straighten the flowers.
