Hershey’s Kiss Roses are a simple and sweet craft to make for Valentine’s Day. My Mom was the one that introduced these to me many years ago. She helped me make the roses as favors for my wedding so they definitely have special meaning to me. While I was on my honeymoon my Mom had this made for me:
Materials:
Hershey’s Kisses
floral tape
wood dowels or floral sticks
glue dots or double-sided tape
clear or tinted cellophane
ribbon (optional)
Pull out the white paper from the top of the candy. It may pull out easily or it may tear off. Just make sure no paper is showing at the top. If the foil gets loose around the top of the kiss – just push it back together.
Use the glue dots or double-sided tape to attach the bottom of the kisses together.
Wrap the kisses with a square piece of cellophane (about 3″x3″), drawing the edges together at the bottom.
Insert the stick into the base of the rose to create the stem. (Be careful not to push the stick into the Hershey’s Kiss. Wrap the cellophane tightly around the stick.
Use the floral tape to secure the rose to the stem and continue taping down the stem. Wind the tape diagonally down the stem.
Add in some rose leaves as you are taping. I used 1-2 per stem and placed them near the rose but you can place them anywhere along the stem.
Finish wrapping the floral tape along the length of the stem. Cut the tape and press tightly to make sure the tape doesn’t come off.
Add a bow…
or ribbon to the stem…

Made these for our son’s rehearsal dinner and put bouquets in clear vases filled with extra silver-wrapped hershey kisses. They looked great.
I used to make these all the time with my mom…we handed them out at my wedding reception. So cute! I just found your blog through the whipperberry link party and am currently your newest follower.

These are so cool. Chocolate roses, my fave.
Good luck from Bacon Time.
These roses are so versitile! We’ve used them for wedding showers, favors at the wedding table, proms, lady’s get togethers, you name it ~ we’ve used ‘em. We even wrapped with different colored cellophane to match the party theme. Glad you shared the tut. I can see them making a comeback!
Great idea… perfect for Valentine’s!
These are adorable & would make a super cute teacher gift! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by Elaine. That’s a terrific idea!
Think it would work to use valentine’s day pencils for the stems? Thinking of making these a gifts for my daughter’s classmates and the pencils would make an added gift to the candy.
Hi Christina! That would totally work and would be super cute – great idea!
I made these for a Family Reunion some 5years ago. I used ths sliver kisses and red cellophane paper. They Were A Hit!
so super cute would make a sweet surprise come see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
So cute! These are my kind of flowers!! We are so glad that you linked up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday”. We hope you will come back next Saturday and share another great idea! -The Sisters
I love these, thanks for sharing <3
Such a great idea for Valentine’s Day!!
What a fun idea for V-Day!! :) Love this. Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
These are absolutely adorable!!!! Was going to make tootsie pop flowers, but they may have just been bumped!! LOL
These are super cute! love the idea.
So cute!! Where can you find the rose leaves (without a rose attached)?
Hi there! You can find them in the floral department of any craft store OR you can do what I did and buy a bunch of roses from the dollar store and remove the leaves :) Just slide the rose off the top and then slide off the leaves. If you buy them from the store they are usually attached to a metal stem that would make the wrapping easier.
Super clever! And it seems you come from a crafty family, can’t believe your mom made that. So special! Thanks for linking to Refresh Your Nest Friday and hope to see you back there tomorrow!
Love it!! I’ve made these before – and they’re really pretty!! I posted a link to this on my blog…thru my pinterest board!
Thanks,
Jennifer @ The Craft Barn
**I also have a GIVEAWAY going on – please stop by & enter!!

I used to make those years and years ago. They’re awesome! I’d love for you to link this up to my party (You could win $20 of vintage jewelry just for linking up). http://trophyw.blogspot.com/2012/01/will-craft-forfree-jewelry.html

Great idea! I hope you link up all your great ideas to Thematic Thursday.
I made these for a friend’s birthday. I used the regular silver kisses and recycled colored bags from the grocery store. They turned out really cute.

Approximately how long does it take for the kids to make this craft?
Not long at all Lynda! you can make one rose in just a couple of minutes. Have fun!
I’m new to the whole craft thing, but these seem simple to do. I’m using a couple of floral wires instead to give the stem a bit more stem like effect. This will be the first thing my girlfriend will get Valentine’s day
Absolutely! I’m sure she’ll love them!
For the stems, I use pixie sticks and wrap them in floral tape. Kids love the added treat. I also, use colored cellophane to coordinate with the current theme.
That is such a cute idea! Love iT!
