I would LOVE if someone make little bendie gazebos! That would be awesome!

I finished my long stem roses last night. I always wait until just before the mailing date to do my swap items, but I was excited to make these, so I'm super early this time, lol. I will post pics later, after they are baked (clay) and made presentable. I made everyone 3 long stemmed roses and will tie them together with a little ribbon and wrap them in tissue paper, just like the real thing

I'm going to try rose arbors, please help me with size. I'm thinking of using floral wire, lacey ribbon and a wooden base and felt roses. What size will your table be? Maybe the arbor can be large enough for it underneath - oooh a romantic spot for a bendy valentine meal..

Here are my long stemmed rose bunches.

They are just a little longer than a toothpick, since that is what I used for the stems.

Gronilot · 12-07-2005, 05:44 PM

Those are great! if you didnt have a size reference, you would never know!

huntersmama · 12-07-2005, 05:55 PM

Bonnie those are beautiful.

I am totally contemplating doing gazebos...how big are your bendies?

would it be big enough if it was 5' tall? i'm thinkign something to fit 3-4' bendies

Mamaselena · 12-29-2005, 10:30 AM

bonnie those roses are beautiful! I am totally fimo impaired...but that is a good thing for Kris

mom2kbeth · 12-29-2005, 10:44 AM

Thanks

I have had a ton of clay for ever and just never used it. Then when this swap came up, I wanted to make roses and realized that if I can make frosting roses (I am also a cake decorator) then I can also make clay ones and my new addiction with Sculpey/Fimo started, lol!

geogirl · 12-29-2005, 02:01 PM

Hi all! The arbor idea is not panning out in my head so I'm going with romantic picnic items for bendies... probably bottle of wine, cheese bread and a pie? We'll see. This isn't the same as someone else is it? I'm looking for baskets too.
