It's that time of year again and you need a small gift, a special 'thank you' or recognition, whether it's for a teacher, a coach, a colleague, a friend. Make a special chocolate rose or better still, a bouquet of chocolate roses to express your thanks and appreciation.


It's easy to create these unique chocolate roses that anyone will appreciate and treasure.

Materials:
  • 8 x 10cm circles of tissue paper. (You can use all the same colour or a mix of colours.)
  • 1/2 length of florist wire ( #20 )
  • 12cm square of clear cellophane
  • florist tape
  • 50 cm length ribbon
  • small chocolate (eg. Lindt)



  • Instructions;
    1. Place the square of cellophane over the chocolate. Pull down and twist tightly around the chocolate. Secure it by twisting the end of the florist wire around the base of the chocolate. It should look like a chocolate ball on the end of a wire.

    2. Hold the circles of tissue paper together and cut a small 'x' in the centre.
    3. Gently push the stem of the wired chocolate through the 'x' slit in the tissue circles and until the chocolate ball sits against the tissue circles.



    4. Holding the tissue circle firmly around the chocolate, starting winding the florist tape around the tissue circles, cellophane ends and wire and continue along the length of wire to the end.



    5. Gently crush the tissue petals around the chocolate to give it a rose-like shape.



    6. Tie a ribbon bow around the stem of wire beneath the rose chocolate.
    7. Finished... attach a small note and give away your gift.



    Remember, you can also make these special gifts for Mother's Day, Valentine's Day or use for other special gifts. It also looks great secured in place atop a colourful gift box for a special decoration.
