Flower petals decor

Unfortunately, the petals of a living rose to decorate wedding glasses with their own hands will not work, as they are too delicate and short-lived, however, they can be replaced with artificial ones. You can make a very beautiful and romantic decoration yourself from them.

3. Attach the smallest petals to the base of the convex part of the glass, glue along the edge.
4. Glue the second layer of slightly larger petals, making a small overlap, placing them on top of the empty spaces of the first layer.
5. For each subsequent layer, repeat the action. As a result, you should get a rose, the core of which will be the glass itself.
6. Using silicone or a transparent contour with a 3D effect, apply dew drops to the petals.
7. At the base of the resulting flower, tie a leg with a satin ribbon, make a bow.
8. With a contour of the same color as the petals, write the names of the bride and groom (on different glasses) at the top. On the legs you can indicate the date of the wedding.

Transparent rhinestones are a universal option.
