I have had some requests on details on how to make the bacon roses. First, I wish I could say this was an original idea, however I found it on Pinterest.
1. You will need an mini muffin pan, a pan to place under the muffin pan to catch grease and a drill. Drill holes in each one of the cups to allow the grease to drain while baking.
2. Heat oven to 375 Degrees. I used half thick cut bacon and half regular bacon to give different sizes to the roses. Start and roll bacon tightly from one end to the other starting with the fat end. Lightly grease muffin pan and place rose into the pan.
3. Place in oven and bake for around 45 minutes.
I had bought silk flowers in bundles of 7 from Walmart. If you take them completely apart down to just the stem, you can save the roses for another project if you would like.
Take the green cylinder piece and place it on the stem, then place the bottom piece to hold the bacon rose. Then take the bacon rose and slide it onto the stem. Continue until you have finished all of your roses!
*Notes-When I make them again I think I might try frying the bottoms a bit, when they were done cooking the tops looked beautiful but some of the thick cut bacon wasn't quite cooked all the way.
I also made mine the night before he received them and just put the whole vase, roses and all in the refrigerator and they were still beautiful the next morning.
