Rose Tutorial

Bear with me here I don't know if I have ever done a tutorial for you. There is a first for everything right? 1. Punch out 1 - 1 3/8" circle 20 - 23 ornament punches 2. Sponge all the edges of your ornaments

3. Using your bone folder curl the edges of the ornaments. Doing this will break the fibers in the paper allowing it to appear to be a "real" flower petal.



4. Now you will start building your flower. Place atleast 4 ornament petals around the circle. Here I used crystal effects but the Red sticky strip tape also works well.

5. Continue building flower. Pictured is is the 2nd row of petals. See how I have arranged the 2nd row between 2 petals in row 1.

6. Still building follow the same steps are #5
7. For the center of the flower wrap your petal around your pen or so that it is a tightly rolled. As you enter the center of the flower the petal become more enclosed you can do this by gently squeezing the sides of the curled petals in. You will know when you have reached the center of the flower as you will not be able to place any more petals on the flower.






8. Ok it looks beautiful just like it is but I think it needs a few leaves. You can make them also with the same ornament punch. Same process Punch your green paper curl the edges with your bone folder sponge and I drew a line with my maker down the center and lines coming off the sides.


9. The Stem! I went to wally world and bought a pack of 100 bamboo skewers to make these stems. I love the seam binding ribbon for this process it wraps so easily. For this I heat up the glue gun and wrap. The pointy part of the skewer I poke into the flower and then hot glue it in.



Thanks for Stopping by today! Have fun! If you make some roses leave me a comment I would love to see what you came up with. They are a lot of fun a bit time consuming but so worth the time it takes!!!
