Our school librarian taught us to make these roses with the same recipe, with toothpaste caps as flower pots and pieces of paper clips as stems. My mom still has one I made, 35 years later it looks just great.

I remember my aunt doing this with us when I was little! I love the idea of using fancy paperclips; that takes out a lot of tedious (imo) metalwork, and it looks really pretty!
