Paper roses

Passionate about craft projects, I couldn’t stop myself from creating a category in my blog about this subject :)

I always considered the combination between design and craftwork as being something unique, because it’s through this combination that it’s possible to achieve the special touch that everyone is looking for in their events.

So is my intention to suggest simple projects in this new category but at the same time ensure a good result.

So, to start this section I bring a project that consists of creating paper roses. These roses can be used to decorate invitations, menus and other graphical elements, and also as a decorative element for your homes.


To make those roses, the following materials are needed:
  • Glue
  • Paperboard with the desired color
  • Scissor

Cut the paperboard into squares. In the example, once I wanted small flowers, the squares have a side of 6cm. If you want bigger flowers, increase the size of the square.


Procedure

1. Transform each square into a spiral. Do not worry about the irregularities of the cut because it will not be noticed at the end.

2. Start by wrapping the outside of the spiral.  Make sure to roll the start of the flower tight.

3. Finally, glue the base and allow it to dry.



And voilà! We have our rose ready to use :)



I hope you liked it and stay tuned to the next project :)
