Ingredients
- 1 sheet Printer Paper
- Floral Stem
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
Instructions
- Print a rose template onto the front and back of a sheet of paper. Cut along the squares on the front. Fold each square into fourths and cut along the heart lines to create a petal shape. Also snip off the corner of the heart to create a very small hole in the center of each square.
- Open the petals up and cut along the lines. You now have seven petals of different sizes.
- Add glue along one straight edge of each petal and overlap it and glue to the other straight edge. Repeat with all the petals (don't worry about glueing the smallest petal, just use a pencil to help roll it over itself). Roll the curved edges of the petals outward.
- Place a dot of hot glue about an inch from the top of a floral stem. Slide the largest petal onto the floral stem down to the glue and add more glue if needed to secure. Add more glue and add the next petal, continuing until all the petals are on the stem. As you add petals, position them so they are NOT exactly lined up with the one below for a more natural look.
