Welcome to the video!
This mixed media DIY project is part of a miniature wildflower series, episode 14, making 1:12 scale hedge & shrub roses, using tissue & copy papers, floral wire & artificial snow.
Adult supervision is needed for younger persons.
The hedge roses measure approximately 3 1/2 tall by 4 1/2 wide with a depth of 3 1/2” & the shrub roses measure approximately 2 x 2 x 2”.
