How to make a rose dome



You’ll need: Small oasis ball (available from your local florist or craft store), 3 bunches of mini-spray roses, a pretty china bowl or tea cup, a gift box (available from The $2 Shop or similar), tissue paper, ribbon.

Step 1. Soak oasis ball in water

Step 2. Cut all rosebuds to about 1cm in length and tightly pack them into the oasis ball. Use green buds as well as full blooms to create texture and full coverage.

Step 3. Position the finished rose dome on top of your desired china container. Place both the ball and the china into a tissue-filled gift box tied with a pretty ribbon and you’ll have a perfectly presented floral gift for Mother.
