How to Make a Rose with Paper
Supplies Needed:
Cardstock paper in any color of your choice.
Scissors.
Glue gun.
Wooden dowel.
Gather the supplies.
Cut four square pieces with 4 x 4- inches dimensions, from the cardstock paper.
Take one piece and fold it in half.
Fold it again in quarters and draw a heart shape, from fold to fold, as shown above. Cut along the heart.
Open and you will get your petal ready.
Repeat the same on the remaining square pieces.
1) Take one flower piece and cut out one petal along the fold lines.
2) Take the next flower piece and cut out 2 petals along the fold.
3) Cut out 3.
4) And then cut out 4.
You will get a set like this ( the parts cut out are also included to make the flower). Arrange them in descending order.
Next, we give the petals a three-dimensional shape.
Apply glue along the edge of the petal and glue the other edge on top of it. Your petal has got its 3D shape.
Repeat on all the remaining and you will get 7 layers of petals ready for the rose.
Take the wooden dowel and curl the petals outwards.
Repeat the same with all the petal layers.
Next, let’s glue the layers together.
Take the largest flower layer and the larger one following it. Apply glue along the center of the largest and press the second flower to the center.
Apply glue along the center of the second largest and press the third largest to the center.
Repeat the process till you complete all 7 layers. Your rose is ready!
