Handmade Paper roses

Sometimes the easiest and most simple things can make a big difference. I started to make those roses just for fun, but realized how they can be usefull and decorative in many situations.


With this beautiful paper roses decorate your home and bring sent of romance in your day! How to make them, read after the jump.

Material for the rose: paper sheet (old newspapers, colored paper, etc.), white glue (hot glue or any other glue you have on hand), scissors.

 

Step 1:  Cut a round shape of paper. Then cut around from the outer end toward center. Lines are marked, just for better understanding. No need to draw them, no need to be very precise. For this type of paper craft, non uniformity gives a special touch and look.

Step 2: Start rolling paper - from outer edge towards the center of the paper.

Step 3: When you are finished with rolling (only central circle is left), release a little bit, to get the rose. Be careful and have your finger on the bottom of the rose when releasing the paper. You can fold the paper to get the look of 'rose petals'. It depends on the paper, if it is thin and soft enough. Glue (or hot glue) the bottom of the rose - put enough glue to cover the overall paper role bottom and put some glue on the central circle left at the end. Then just press this circle to the bottom of the rose.
