Directions How To Make A Hankie Rose
- Iron a hankie flat
- Fold the handkerchief in half horizontally
- Fold the handkerchief in half horizontally again
- Fold the handkerchief once more horizontally; you now have a long narrow handkerchief tube
- From approx 2 inches from the right hand side of the hankie, fold the hankie down to create a right angle
- Fold the hankie over tightly against the right angle to create the bud (I like wrinkling the narrow hankie tube from the left to create a more realistic look)
- Now twist the hankie around the bud, but looser, until the rose is the fullness you want.
- To finish the rose, wrap the base of the rose with floral wire.
- Shape the 'petals' of the rose by gently spreading out the wrapped hankie
- Wrap the exposed floral wire around the base of the rose
- Repeat steps 1-10 five times to create 5 individual rose buds
- Glue the roses into the bouquet holder
- Congratulations you have created a beautiful bridal hankie bouquet
