Paper Rose Wreath

I have been working on this project for several weeks now.  I had hoped to finish this wreath before Christmas, but I didn't make it.  I think it will look great as part of my Valentine's Day decorations.  I got this idea from a red cone tree I saw a Target, and a picture I found online of paper rosettes. 

The roses are made from red cardstock.  I made all the flowers, then sprayed them with a spray adhesive and then covered them in glitter.  It's a little shiny in the pictures because of the adhesive, but it's not obvious on the actual wreath.

I used a 12 inch foam wreath and hot glued the rosettes to the foam.  I bought a 3 inch wide sheer ribbon from JoAnn's and wrapped it around the wreath.

This was so easy to do, although a bit time consuming.  I used my lunch breaks at work to make the roses and then would glue them on at night. 

When I first started making the roses, I put them in a little box thinking I would glitter them all at once.  I noticed that they started to unravel and didn't hold their shape very well if I waited too long.
