Pull the raffia up through the heart. Repeat with remaining two hearts. Adjust the hearts so they are evenly spaced with about 3 1/2 inches of raffia on the top and bottom.

Take about 10 strands of raffia and cut two pieces 12 inches long. Tie each piece into a bow. With the hot glue gun, glue one bow above the top heart and one below the bottom heart.

Cut the white ribbon into three 12 inch pieces. Make into bows. Glue a bow into the center of each heart.

Cut the stems from each rose bud just below the leaves. Glue a rose bud to the center of each ribbon.
