Tams Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 1:12 Scale Paper Roses personal use only, please You will need: sheet of paper in color you would like your rose heart punch floral wire Elmer’s glue tooth pick Step 1: Punch out several hearts from your paper. You will need about 8 - 10 hearts per rose. Step 2: Cut a piece of floral wire. You’ll only want it an inch at the end, but you can cut it longer to make it easier to work. It’s easy to cut it down later. Step 3: Fold a heart in half, lengthwise and unfold. You will do this with every heart you use for your roses. Use a toothpick to place glue along the crease. Glue to the top of your piece of wire. Step 4: Put just a bit of glue at the bottom of the crease of your next heart. You’ll want to attach this heart to the heart already on your wire. You’ll want the round part of this heart to be on the side of the flat part of the first one. Step 5. Put glue on the bottom of the crease of your next heart. Glue to the bottom of your budding rose, off to one side. Repeat on the other side. Step 6. Glue your next heart along the “seam” formed by the last two hearts. Repeat on the opposite side of your bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Repeat Steps 5 and 6 one or two times, until your rose has as many petals as you would like for it to have. Let dry. Step 7. Once dry, gently shape each “petal” by bending, slightly curling, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Mega thank you, Tam, I wanted one of these tutorials because eventually I have to make roses to on the trellis for the Magnolia. I couldn't tell from the pictures, but did you use Post-It paper? It looks heavier than giftwrap tissue or crepe paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 I actually just used colored multi-purpose paper that I found next to reg white printer paper at walmart. I think the thickness is pretty accurate with that paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
