Chocolate-Filled Roses

Paper flowers seem to be blooming in the design world. They’re being used to create beautiful centerpieces, backdrops, and more. This sophisticated flower craft makes a gorgeous table centerpiece or seating cards and can even be used as a special homemade gift, with the surprise treat in the center!

I made these roses out of crepe paper, which creates really beautiful flowers. The paper can be easily shaped into realistic petal shapes. You can use as many petals as you want for each flower. The flowers featured here are made out of one to seven petals. The more petals you use, the fuller and more open the rose will look.
