I saw the coolest little thing today….Rose Pie. I was parusing some blogs and saw this creative decorative piece. You know, some people ask why I mention some of these do-it-yourself (DIY) decorations since it takes away business in that our designers are making them. Well, let’s be honest, some people love to make their own floral decorations and I find it fascinating and fun.
This blog with quite a few Holiday DIY decorations featuerd a table with two rose pies. I would never have though of such a thing. I’ve posted below the directions to making your very own rose pie. For pictures of what it looks like please visit this link.
Materials:
- Ceramic pie plate
- Roses
- Ribbon
- Oasis floral foam
- Flower shears
Directions:
1) Prepare oasis floral foam to fit snugly into the pie plate. Make sure the top of the foam is flush with the edge of the plate.2) Cut stems of roses so that you have just enough to stick into the foam. I’m approximating 2 inches, but it could vary depending on the depth of your pie plate. Place roses artfully all around the foam to fill the pie plate.
3) Take your ribbon and form a lattice-work pattern over your flowers. Cut the ribbon into strips and lay them horizontally across the roses, then lay the other ribbon strips vertically across those.
4) Place on your table and wait for the Oohs and Aahs.
Not only is this a great DIY idea, but we’ve got something that will make it even better! I know I mention this all the time but it’s such an awesome deal I can’t stop bringing it up. You can make your Rose Pie at half the cost with Boesen Roses if you come in on any Friday. That’s right. Two stems for the price of one! They didn’t mention the number of roses they would use, but come on in and pick up a couple dozen roses for the price of one dozen and make the best looking, and in my opinion, possibly the best smelling pie you’ll ever make. Enjoy!
