Rose DIY Valentine’s Day Tree

Rose DIY Valentine’s Day Tree Supplies

• foam cone
• red acrylic paint ($0.50 cents at Walmart)
• mini rose bushes (I used 2.5 big bushes from Hobby Lobby that were $3 each during their 50% off florals sale. You can get similar ones at Dollar Tree, but you would probably need to double the number of those smaller $1 ones so it would end up around the same price anyway.)
• foam heart pick
• glue gun and glue sticks

Money Saving Tip: You can get everything but the big rose bushes from Dollar Tree.

Cost: $9.50

Time: 10-15 minutes

Difficulty Level: Easy

Rose DIY Valentine’s Day Tree Instructions

1. Paint your foam cone red and let it dry. It takes about 15 minutes to dry.
2. Remove the rose stems from the bushes.
3. Push the roses into the foam cone. You may need to dab a little hot glue on the bottom of the stem if they don’t stay in place. I only had to do this for a few stubborn ones. Keep in mind, if your stems are long enough and sharp enough you may not need the glue.
4. Repeat this process until the tree is completely covered in roses and the foam cone is no longer visible.
5. Push the foam heart pick into the center of the foam cone until the stick is no longer visible.

There’s a lot of ways to make this project your own such as:

• Use different colored roses (white and pink) and create an ombre effect with the different colored roses.
• Spray paint a candlestick holder glittery red and hot glue the tree on top of it.
• Add accents like little pearls or gems to the tree.
• Wrap battery operated fairy lights around the tree for a magical effect.
• Tie a Valentine’s Day ribbon around it
