DIY Valentine Rose Bouquet

Nothing can replace beautiful fresh red roses for Valentine’s Day, but if you love Valentine decor for your home, I have just the thing for you. I will describe step-by-step how to make this arrangement of beautiful silk roses. If you’d like, gather up your own supplies and follow along.

Supplies needed for DIY Valentine Rose Bouquet

one silk red rose bush
one white filler flower bush
one greenery bundle
two Valentine heart picks
floral foam
vase or container of your choice
roll of red ribbon
wire, scissors, glue gun, wire cutters

The florals and ribbon all were from Hobby Lobby.

I chose a white metal pitcher for a container to make my red rose bouquet. The block of floral foam I purchased was just the right size for this container. (Otherwise the foam would have to be trimmed to fit the size of the container.) I glued the foam to the bottom of the container to make it more secure.

The silk red rose bush I am using has fifteen roses, instead of a dozen, but who’s counting? I added it right in the center of the pitcher. I did not separate the stems but used it as one piece. Then spread out the roses until I like how it looked.

The next step is to add the silk white filler flower bush in the center. I put it right next to the center of the rose bush. Then I spread out the individual white flower stems mixed among the roses until I liked the way it looked.

Then I added the shooting heart stems, one on each side of the arrangement.

Before adding the silk greenery, I separated into individual pieces.

I then added the individual stems to the bouquet on all sides near the opening of the pitcher.

The final step is adding a bow. I made a simple bow out of some sheer red ribbon.

This type of ribbon does not have a “front” or “back” side so its a little easier to make a simple bow with. Just loop the ribbon back and forth four or five times, leaving the ends a little long for streamers. Hold together in the middle of the ribbon.
