Rosette for a special someone
#v17319
Have the children unleash their creativity and design beautiful rosettes out of cardboard and glittery EVA foam. The rosettes are mounted on a solid wooden base so they can stand as a loving memory. The perfect gift for Father’s Day, for example. The rosettes can also be easily customised for other occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries or as a fun prize.
