Author Notes: This is an extremely elegant and easy idea, but not always the cheapest! Silk flowers can cost a lot, so it's best to get them on a clearance sale or perhaps dry some real roses.
Supplies: hot glue gun and glue sticks
artificial roses or dried roses
heart shaped styrofoam base
red spray paint (or paint to match the color of your roses
Instructions:

1. Spray paint the styofoam base in a color close to that of your roses. Let dry. This step keeps any white styrofoam from showing through on the finished wreath.

2. Take off any stems from the roses, you want them to be as smooth on the bottom as possible without falling apart (keep the calyx on, the green "x" shaped part of the stem underneath the flower that holds the petals on). If using rose buds, just make sure there are no stems attached to the buds.

3. Hot glue the flowers, face up, onto the wreath, completely covering it.

4. Hang, using wire twisted at the back, or a pretty ribbon. Enjoy!
