{LovelyIdeas} Paper Roses




Seriously, I am so fond of paper and I have tonnes of colorful paper at my house. The appetite for paper are much more worst than food! While scrolling up and down into the web, I found this such an inspirational tutorial on how to make a paper roses...It was gorgeous and yet so simple. The tutorial was shown by Rachel Grace at Heart of Light. I copied the tutorial just in case I need it for future reference...huhu. Enjoy and be creative people!



1. Cut the paper into squares 

 

2. Fold the paper into half and trimmed into petal shape (the imperfect shape is ok!)


3. Once you have a nice pile of trimmed petals, start rolling them between your fingers. Form them into little tubes.


4. Roll the petal back up (over the glue) and hold for a few second so it can set up. This will be the center of the flower.


5. Repeat the same steps as with the second petal. You're holding the flower in your left hand, spreading out a new petal with the lower fingers and applying glue to the base corners.


6. Growing flower. Continue to add more petals. You'll want the petals to flare out more and or as you work your way along. Eventually, you'll end up with a nice full flower.


7. There's really no exact finishing point. You can add fewer petals if you don't want your flower completely flat on the bottom or if you want it narrower. You can add more to make it extra full.
