What's more beautiful than a rose? A rose made of Duck Tape. There's no dirt and no thorns to deal with. Plus, you don't ever have to water it.

Give a hand-made Duck Tape rose to someone special and he or she will be stuck to you like...let's just say it'll be appreciated.

Step 1: Cut several strips of duct tape - about 2 inches each.

Step 2: Sticky side up, fold one edge over itself, leaving some stickiness on the side and bottom.

Step 3: Take the parallel edge and fold it over, leaving only stickiness on the bottom of the strip.

Step 4: Roll this across tightly; this is your center.

Step 5:Repeating steps 2-3 with strips of duct tape, loosely bind the strips around the center (these are your petals). Continue until you've reached the desired size.

Step 6:For the stem, take a thin piece of floral stem wire, and a large strip of duct tape (the duct tape should be about a 1/2" shorter than the wire). Place the wire on the strip (parallel) and roll the wire across, wrapping the tape tightly around.

Step 7:Insert the end with the 1/2" of wire (the end that doesn't have tape on it) into the rose. Make a petal (steps 2-3) and secure the stem to the rose.
