Chocolate Kiss Roses

"Hershey kisses roses are perfect for Valentine's Day! It is cheap and super easy to make. I got my supplies from Walmart and Dollar Tree, but you can find them at any craft stores too."

Hershey kisses roses are perfect for Valentines Day, Mother's Day, or just becuase!! It is a wonderful, cheap and super easy gift to make.

You can purchase the supplies from your local Walmart and Dollar Tree, but you can also find them at any craft store as well.

I have made so many of these over my years. They are great for the kids to make as little teacher appreciation gifts or as a fundraiser (that's how it all started for me.) It all started when I had to raise money for my Majorette letterman jacket in high school.

There are so many things that you can use to make these. Use your imagination and play with your creativity! Time to get crafty! 🌹💐

Materials:

• Hershey’s Kisses any flavor of your choice

• Filler paper, colored cellophane, tissue paper, or even scrap fabric pieces will work, cut into 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" squares

• Floral tape in green

• Wired green leaves

• Wood dowels, BBQ skewers or floral sticks

• Glue dots or double-sided tape, optional

Directions:

Step 1:

Pull out the white paper from the top of the candy. It may pull out easily or it may tear off. Just make sure no paper is showing at the top. If the foil gets loose around the top of the kiss – just push it back together. OR you can snip off the excess piece.

Step 2:

Use the glue dots or double-sided tape to attach the bottom of the kisses together.

Wrap the doubled kisses with a square piece of cellophane (about 3 1/2″x3 1/2″), drawing the edges together at the bottom (where the stem will start).

Step 3:

Insert the stick into the base of the rose to create the stem. (Be careful not to push the stick into the Hershey’s Kiss. Wrap the cellophane tightly around the stick.

Use the floral tape to secure the rose to the stem and continue taping down the stem. Wind the tape diagonally down the stem.

Step 4:

Add in some leaves as you are winding and wrapping the tape. I used 1-2 per stem and placed them near the rose but you can place them anywhere and as many as you choose along the stem.

Finish wrapping the floral tape along the length of the stem. Cut the tape and press tightly to make sure the tape doesn’t come off.

Step 5:

Lay roses in a layering pattern on a few sheets of tissue paper, add in faux babies breath, and wrap with a silk ribbon. Add a personalized tag to make a bouquet gift.

If making single stems, add a ribbon and sweet tag to the middle of the stem. Or, wrap each single rose in a piece of tissue paper or cellophane paper, wrap with a ribbon and tie with a sweet messaged tag.

Notes:

You can place rose stems in a vase, or cut down and place in a mini pot. You can even make single rosettes to give away individually as favors for a party, friends or co-workers.

"Kiss Roses are a simple and sweet craft to make for Valentine’s Day. I was introduced to making these many years ago when a friend of mine was going through a rough pregnancy. I decided to make this special gift to bring her while she was in the hospital. So they definitely have special meaning to me!"
