Here are some simple instructions that will enable you to create your own rose accents:

Apply a light coat of spray paint to the clothespins and let dry. Apply a second coat, let dry, then flip over and repeat on other side. Position clothespins hinge side up and hot glue roses to the hinges. Starting at the top of the tree, clip a rose onto a branch. Then, place the end of the ribbon in the pin.
