Skill Level

Beginner

Approximate Crafting Time

20 minutes

Supplies and Tools

•Duck® brand Duct Tape
•Straw

 

Optional Supplies and Tools:
•Scissors

Directions

Step 1

Take your straw and cover it in tape (lengthwise works the best). This step is completed best if you roll the straw across the tape, sticky-side up.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Roll this across tightly; this is your center.

Step 6

Insert the center piece from Step 5 into the top of your straw.

Step 7

Repeating Steps 2-4 with strips of duct tape, loosely bind the strips around the center (these are your petals). Make sure to adhere the petals to the both straw and the center piece from Step 4. Continue until you've reached the desired size.

Step 8

For the leaves under the rose, repeat Steps 2 - 4 with the same color that you used for the stem. Wrap these pieces around the stem at the base of the flower to cover up the tape edge.

No, it's not too hard-- I've made them before. However, it takes a LOT of petals to get a nice, full look. When I make duct tape flowers I don't use straws because I consider them too flimsy. I usually use a floral stick (found at most craft stores). You could use a pen, too, and make a pretty little rose pen.

Just reading the instructions it's hard to picture whats being said. Maybe some pictures of each step will make it a little easier.Thanks

theyre actually really easy, they just take a lot of time

I make these all the time, only insted of a straw I unwind papercilps, and build off of that. I do it because you can posistion them any way, make leaves to branch off the stem and even make corsages. My friends have fallen in love with them and I make about 7 a day. Each friend gives me $2.00 for it, even when I tell them it is a gift...

This is cool and it so easy. I might make a rose for my friends lol:)

they are really good

A little to much work

i already knew how 2 do this, its not hard @ all

ive known how to make these forever there super easy and un but none of my friends aver want them except three

This is a neat project. I wish I joined the group sooner. I guess I will have to make them for Easter or Mother's Day instead now.

I love these! I made a bunch for my boyfriend for Valentine's Day and he loved them!

This is cool! i made alot of flower pens before. i also have a HUGE flower! my friends want me 2 make them flowers, so i had to start to charge.

this is a little more time consuming then I thought and it takes a TON of tape 2 get a really nice full look

Really cool but it takes alot of time and they will only sell for a low low price

i found a rad way to make duck tape flowers, somtimes it looks like a tulip or a rose, kinda cool. and for the stem you can just roll up the duck tape and wrap it tightly and its sturdy and bendable.

it takes a little time and you have to practice but other wise it is the best

Really fun, but time consuming. It took me about an hour to get a pretty rose.(: I likes it.

this is so cute :) i made one for my center piece and everyone loves it!

its actually pretty easy, i just got done making a bouquet for my girlfriend cause she like random colors so i used my duct tape

I love roses, rose is my middle name. Making it isn't hard at all. At the end it looks really beautiful and you apreciate the time you spent to make it

I did the petals in sort of layers, and in each new layer I raised it a bit. It took less duct tape and still looks really good.

I love making these, but instead of using a straw I like using a pen so you can write with it=) All my friends love them!

It sounds cool and looks easy, but it is a hard to understand tutorial. when i do step 4 it doesnt look like the pic. any suggestions???

It's not too hard and not too easy It's really fun I'd recamend everybody to try it

I love duck tape roses. They arent as hard as they look. All of my friends always want me to make duck tape pens for them. Try making them with different combinations of colors! MissDuckTape543

i like the craft but the directions were hard to understand so i youtubed it and the was a good video on it. i put the flowers on pens and sold them to people! they were pretty popular and i sold a few :)

I could only get to step3 dont you think its to hard

This project looks really cool, especially considering all the different colors you could use for the rose (and maybe even the stem would look interesting in one of the camo prints)...I wonder if the Totally Tie Dye purple would make a neat looking rose. I'd definitely want to try black! It does seem like it'd be a bit time consuming, however, and I might consider replacing the straw with something sturdier (I like the pen idea suggested here!). Good luck to all those who try this!

I just made 2 of these and it was so fun! I made them on a pen and a pencil instead of a straw because they are less flimsy. They sound a lot harder to make than they really are..... *peace, love, duct tape*

it seems easy

awesome but looks like alot of work also more pictures please!

veary cool veary easy TRY IT!!!!

These roses are SO fun and easy to make!!! I read the other comments and LOVE the flower pen idea!!! I cant wait to make one!

nice

This craft is awesome and easy. I made one in about 5 minutes.

Cool this is simple and fun. My rose doesn't look like a rose but it looks like a flower. i just don't get the folding the parallel side thing oh well i mad it work :) I attached it to a pen i'm giving it to my mummy <3 I used blue and the zig-zag zebra duct tape. Thank you for all the great ideas :D

i like it it is cool and a good present

I have to try this! I have always wanted to try but never got the instructions until i read it!!!!

This was actually really easy! It seems like it would be really difficult and would take forever but I made a small one in like 10 minutes. Its really fun and I just used blue and silver so you can use any colors you have.

Nice and lovely, and hopefully easy. The look of it just makes me want to make one right away!

really nice i love it.mine arent that good

I made really small ones on tooth picks and sold them for 50 cents and made a ton of cash!

This will be the awsome teacher present!!!!!!:)

omg l love theses rose!(: <3

I sell duct tape things...And i started using pens insted of straws and everyone loved it

Very cool! Thanks!

Easy and fun 2 do

It is really easy. It doesn't take too long either. It takes a lot of 2 by 2 squares of duct tape, though.

i love making the duck tape rose it was easy until the folding part cus it got confuseing but now i get it its really fun to make now :) {*_*}

it was fun and easy but about how many do u do

  • Date Added: 11/28/2010 10:57:00 AM

its really not as hard as it looks the ones i make are about twice as big and take half the time theyre really fun and sell on ebay for one-two dollars each

i just roll up some duck tape probably not very cost affective but its less flimsy than straws and lasts longer

This has been on my to do list for a while now. Broke down and invested in the tape of mi choice..... Made the first two and just loved them....being the artzee fartzee i am, i rounded my tips and slightly creased the edges and put leave's on them they came out way coooool. Thank You soo much for the easy to follow instructions.

  • mdv123
  • Date Added: 1/5/2011 7:28:00 PM

these look EXACTLY like the ones I make! these are gorgeous and if you want yours to look like the picture, make 50 petals for a full look and also make sure that all the petals are even before you fold them. when you stick the petals on, check to see if it's level. run your finger around the top and if you feel a straight pointy path then great! but if you feel a bumpy pointy path then keep trying! good luck <3333 :)

i made this for the dance at my school totaly works

I make these for all my friends. They are so much fun to make!!!!

Very pretty. The directions are kind of unclear

its so easy! no need to cry over something so hard. i will keep on making red roses.

i made a dozen of these for my girlfreind it took a lot of time but it was worth it

These are SOOO cool!!!! I made mine in 20 minutes!!! :)

really fun! when i saw it i grabbed my duck tape and duck tape scissors and got to work. but when i was looking for a straw and couldn't find one, I used a pencil and took the rose off the pencil. really wish i could find how to make a vase :p

its not that hard actually! its a little time consuming depending on the size and how many u want to make. but i made it for my mom on mothers day and she LOVED them!

AHH THIS IS SOOOOOO FUN!! i love making things and the instructions are sooo easy to fallow.!!! IF you like making flowers also try to make a wallet... a little more challenging, but its worth it!!!! I <3<3<3<3<3 DUCT TAPE

I <3 THESE!!! they were sooo easy to make! but instead of a staw i used a pen, so i can write with it! <3

Isn't it just a vase covered in duct tape?

I seen this done many ways....miniatures are just as fun....all of mine are made on bic pens or papermate pens cause when the ink runs out just replace the writing tip portion of the pen and yer ready to go again. Men and women have asked me for ball game team colored ones and mastered making them mid size so they are not so large and bulky........still having fun makin these roses.......i know yall will too for those of you whom have not tried these yet.

Instead of a straw i used a pen and everyone wants onee

this was really hard but it came out really good

I love making duct tape roses in my spare time i've even made them for my teachers at school and every one is in love with them so much so that someone stole one i gave to my math teacher O.o

i love it!!! i made like a million but u have to use like 40 pieces to make it look great

i love these they are amazing but you need a lot of petals i am makeing a bunch for my friends and people

does anyone know how to make a rose with rounded petals?

great craft but it takes alot of duct tape. its very fun! i make mine different though. i just wrap them all around the stem then you dont have to worry about getting the sticky parton the first petal and the stem:) just a tip.

this looks REALLY COOL!!!!! but it looks kinda hard but i will still try it then give yall results!!!!! :D

yes will make a ducktivity with instructions

thats cool i guess:(

  • Date Added: 2/7/2011 6:26:00 PM

great easy flowers it takes a lot of petals to make them full and pretty though

This is a great craft, I make them all the time because they are so easy, paper clips and sticks work best for me

For a nice, full-ish, it takes about 48 petals. It's really easy, though, and most of my friends were impressed when I made my first one--which wasn't that great. I did spirals a few times using two different colours, which is super easy! :) ~Thanks~

It's easy and fun I've made a couple of them, and other stuff.

I made one of these for Valentines day for my best friend who also loves ducktape!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ROCK

BEAUTIFUL

Ok Ladies, I have lost it---when i made the first few, i handed them out at work so that our pens do not get ripped off. But since then as stated before...i have men asking for these pens as well with the flames on the out side. Mastered small, medium and large- to outrageous. Then i had a possible order for 55 pens before the 10th of February-so i invested in over two hundred dollars of Duck Duct tape.....the lady flaked on the order...cause she didn't like my prices. Was only charging 3.50 ea for the pen. This is really hard to put a price on it. So i have just been making them and giving them to folks i come across in life to see them smile(in my community). If they want more i charge them 3.50 and quite a few are takers. I just want to make a up the rest of my duct tape supply and bee done with it....but occasionally you get those whom fear trying and will buy them. I plan on decoring my house with them...they never die and they are sooooo colorful. Heck it's even gotten to where i could set up training sessions with folks of all ages to teach this to others whom are bored and say they arent creative. I just tell them JUST DO IT! Awaken the creative sleeper within! Everyone possess creativeness. The joy it brings just to see others smile off of something so simple----the thought of just giving something for nothing in return...Is Awesome too. More folks need to smile. These Pens bring a lot of Smile's in my neighborhood. This is what keeps me a making them. For those smile's and teach others to do the same and make a little cash when needed. Just wanted to share this with you. Thank You to all for sharing. Have a wonderful day!

Amazing being a guy i thought it wouldnt be that cool but its actually pretty awesome and easy to make. i used lime/neon green for the stem and electric yellow for the petals. i want to try one with black and/or white petals

i made one and they are so easy to make

I sell these in my school for $1.50 each. Duck tape flower pens are totally in demand! I have made roses like this before but I usually make them rainbow and I make the bottom leaves the same size as the petals. Does anyone think I am charging too little for them?!

THEY R EASY TO MAKE. MY FRIEND MAKES THEM AND SELLS THEM SORRY I TYPED THIS IN ALL CAPS BUT IM TO LAZY TO START OVER:D

I use a pen for a stem and sell them at school. Everyone loves them, plus you can use different patterns and colors for each one.

this is cool. i made a few and they turned out great!

this is a awesome craft. i made a few and they are realy cool. they dont take long once you get the hang of folding the petals, but it takes a lot of duck tape to get one full and big.

its fun and EASY so dont worry! the only thing is it takes up a ton of duct tape. its a good idea to give a gift to someone with some (duct tape) flowers in a vase :D

if you work in an office or write alot i suggest you make your flower with a pen instead of a straw....... MUCH MORE USEFUL! but overall the idea is pretty cool and special for ladies.

It looks really pretty with a leopard print stem and purple flowers!♥

i like the roses. i used a ink pen instead of a straw this way you got a ink pen to use with a rose on top.

I'm doing this project right now and it takes A LOT of petals, at first it is very complicated just saying.

I LOVED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making it is super easy but instead of a straw I use a pen. A straw would bend and mess up the flower.

i made one like this but its a little skinnier so i wouldnt waste as much duck tape. i also like doing it on pens and spraying perfume on it so it smells. great project!!

These are great! But... When ever I make one, they always end up cone shaped! Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to fix this?

Our gymnastics team ade these as a fundraiser to sell and we had a great success. Super easy and fun to make:)

We made these flower pens as a fundraiser and sold them for our gymnastics team. It was super easy and fun. :)

i love making duck tape roses

these flowers are so easy to make i love them i wish i could make them all the time

Made Lots Luv them and also sell them

I luv this idea! I make them all the time, but i use pens instead of straws.

it sounds hard i self taught my self on how to make roses a different way

its pretty easy actually it looks hard because of all the layers but they turn out good but the harder you tape them the better they come out but you also can switch colors and make it cooler and glitter spray makes them prettier :)

i've made one of these before and found that it gives it a cleaner look if you put a layer of leaves the color of the stem right at the base of the petals.

i made one on a dark blye wriist band might post something more later :):):):):):):):):) :p

i love these

Cool im gonna make one once i get green and more pink and purple

Super easy to make, yes ti takes FOREVER to make them but once you get into it the time goes by fast :) My friends love them and my mom uses them at work all the time

soooooooooooo easy!! i started my duck tape buisness 3 days ago and barely knew anything when i started. now me and my brother and sister learned how to make theses yesterday and we already filled up 3 vases and are going to sell them to our friends!! we tried using pens and they work much better!! way easier than it looks!! :)

Me and my sister make these. They are very easy, once you get the pattern down. We know exactly how many pedals we need and we put them on pens. Ten minutes to make it. We sell them for 5 dollars each and make so much more stuff. We have a professional business started! These pens are an amazing thing to us!

these are super fun i have made many pins rings and bracelets

i love duct tape pens....all the flowers in my house are made of tape...they r easy because you dont have to water them and they dont make me sneeze!!

i love making roses there really really easy to do and fun to make for friends and family ...... <3

I made a different design of a rose and it turned out GREAT!

My flowers have about 26 petals and they look full and pretty...

This is awesome!

omg omg this is awesome i made 1 and i luvvvvv it!!! <3

i just tried it, so cool but i made it into a pen though.

Hey cool but i don't really know where to place the petals. If its not to much to ask please make a video and include where to place the petals on the straw. thanks, jellybean7887

it is really fun to make ! i LOVE it !! and it is really easy ! it just takes some time

I LOve duct tape at school we always hve like a neon day so i just where ALL of my duck tape

real easy caught on fast

OMG!!!!!! NOW I CAN MAKE TOTALLY COOL DUCT TAPE ROSE (BTW I CANT LIVE WITHOUT DUCT TAPE!!!!!!)

I MADE ONE LIKE SOOOOOOO HUGE AND I LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOOD: HAPPY XD

It was a little confusing at first, but now it makes sense.

It isn't hard but you have to be patient.It may be easier if you are having trouble to watch the video on Youtube.**And you can also use a pen instead of a straw.You canalso just wrap some tape(but not too far on the pen)to make a "stem".It's easiest if it's a capped pen,btw.**

These are cool and i know how to make roses but step 7 sounds confusinf and that is not how i make my base.... hmmm.....

My friend made these. They seem really hard to make, but she says once you get the hang of it, they are super easy! I wanted to buy roses for everybody in my class (100 in total) but then thought it would cost, like, thousands. So, instead, on Valentines day, I will tape these to everybody's locker and have a post- it note saying, "You are a wonderful person!"

These Look Awesome! I may just try them out!

Sounds fun. i will do it on my pencils

Very easy to make :) Though I forget to kind of "pucker" it out a bit so it didn't take the shape of a rose very well. :P But I'm sure I'll get the hang of it ;)

Love to make them!However this really is NOT hard at all you just need to get used to it. How I do it is I pick the colors and all that stuff and then I use a pattern with 2 colors across from each other so it would be like green blue green blue.I do this and once I ended up with the green a black lots of times and it looked super cool. I love to do this!Keep making duct tape! ducttapegirl1

My friend makes these and says that they only take 10 Minutes, and hers turn out really good! She's going to show me how to make them this weekend!

if you use a pen how do you do the step where you put the center of the rose in the middle?

Wow LOVE IT!!!!! so cute!!!

i make roses all the time and a good thing to use for a sturdy stem is a wooden skewer! i roll dark green tape around it and it doesnt snap or anything. leaves can be a bit tricky tho

they are sooo cool dude my friends make them and so do i

I'm only wondering how I can make these and put them on a bracelet?

this is hard

Im gonna give mine to a boy I like

It seems easy enough. But it is pretty tricky to picture what is being said in the instructions. Pictures would help. I'm going to make one for the girl I like but use a pen or something. The straws are too flimsy.

just started making some black ones for Halloween...

I've made several of these for family and friends. I enjoy making them.

I love this! I made this but I couldn't find a straw so I used a pen and it is so awesome. make sure the pen has ink first....

OMG I will totally take on the challenge

Defintely smarter to put these on pens! Dont do pencils, because you can sharpen it! <3333 Deuces! ~NinjaDomos~

This is amazing! If you work up, gradually make them go higher and higher, it doesn't take a lot of petals. I suggest that you use a pencil, floral stick, or pen, straws do not work. This is really easy and does not take a lot of time.

I'm gonna start saleing these!

Pretty awesome i made one and took it to school everyone LOVED it! I got asked to make more for my friends they look really good and dont take a lot of time/duck tape

It sounds hard, but it's simple when you start making it. I make pens like this and they're awesome! When I'm better at making these, I'm going to try making hair decorations like this. - duckies22

I've made these before. they seem hard at first but once you completely fail once the second time you perfect it and so on. It looks great. But I HATE the huge ones they just look horrible I prefer large medium small. I always do them on pens so I can show them off! I love my flower pens!
