They have to make a swap, make English food, perform a skit and have a make-n-take craft at their booth. I volunteered to lead the craft and this is what I will show the girl scouts how to make: Rolled &#8220;English&#8221; roses:</p>

<p>To save time I went through my paper scraps and punched a couple hundred scalloped circles.  For the project base I chose<a href="http://www.papermart.com/Product%20Pages/Product.aspx?GroupID=18948&amp;origin=thefrugalcrafter"> precut tags</a> from <a href="http://www.papermart.com/?origin=thefrugalcrafter">Papermart</a>. BTW Papermart is sponsoring a nice giveaway on the <a href="http://ribbons.com/ribbons-coms-spring-essentials-giveaway/">Ribbons.com blog </a>so hop over there to enter! To hold the roses securely I used <a href="http://www.papermart.com/Search%20Pages/CombinedSearch.aspx?SearchStr=glue%20dots&amp;origin=thefrugalcrafter">glue dots</a> because one hundred girl scouts and a couple of hot glue guns seems like a risky idea 🙂 Watch the quick video to see how it is made:</p>
