Before cooking, roll each strip of bacon into a rose shape and secure in place with two toothpicks in an X through the center.

While the roses are baking, take the bamboo skewers and wrap them in the florists tape. Make sure the pointed side is at the top.

Wrap some artificial leaves near the top of the pointed end of the skewer.

After the roses are cool enough to touch, remove the toothpicks (they should hold their shape) and top off the skewers with them.

Place finished skewers in a jar and present to dad as the manliest and most delicious bouquet he's ever seen in his life!
