How to make condom roses!

How to make condom roses!
So this is instructions on how to make condom roses! They're fun gifts to give to friends for valentines day or to your significant other! They're very simple to make. All you'll need are some green pipe cleaners, some condoms with fun colored wrappers and green duct tape.

Which condoms to use:
Really any condoms with square-ish wrappers will work. The plastic wrappers bend easier than the foil ones, but as you can see, the foil ones work too. If you're looking for red ones, both Durex and Lifestyles have red condoms that you can use. I would also suggest pink. For my bouquet I used Durex Love (red), Trojan Elexa (black and purple), Crown (silver) and Lifestyles Skyn (Gold).

Disclaimer - Because the condoms during this project get bent, its up to your own discretion on whether or not they are still usable. Bending the condoms may weaken them, making them more likely to break. It's really your call.

Although I have nver liked the Idea of using Trojan Condoms, as well... WE ALL know the story of the little men who escaped from the trojan horse! hehe

I have to say, kudos. This is a great idea that really does speak for itself. ;)
This is a fantastic idea for the more intimate couples.

A suggestion is that for some twisted reason, if you may have kept the condom wrappers, they may be used for the petals...? I'm thinking that you can still get the idea across while not "wasting" the condom if you decide that you don't want to use them.

Kudos, again.
