How to Make a Paper Rose
This project will take around 20 minutes and is very easy to do.
Step 1: Cut the Paper
First, we have to cut the paper.
Fold the whole paper in the middle along the longer side.
Then fold it once more and unfold the paper again.
Finally, cut along the folded lines. You will end up with four equal rectangular pieces.
Step 2: Cut the Rose Petals
Take one of the rectangles and fold it in half along the longer side.
Then fold it twice more until you end up with a folded rectangle like this.
Finally, cut the shape of the petals. Be careful to leave a small area on both sides on the bottom that are connected to the edges. This will ensure that all of the pieces stay connected.
Unfold the whole thing and repeat this step for the other three paper strips.
Step 3: Make the Rose
Take the paper strips that you just cut and roll one of them up very tightly. This will be the center of the rose.
Apply some glue on the bottom of the last two petals before you roll them up.
Then, take the next paper strip and roll it around the center that you just created. But this time don´t wrap it too tightly. Use some glue to attach it to the core while you wrap the paper strip around the center.
Repeat this process for the last two strips and fold the petals outwards.
And with that, the rose is done.
How to Make a Paper Flower With Stem
This project takes around 30 minutes and is relatively easy. It requires a little more patience than the previous one.
Step 1: Cut the Paper
Just like in the first guide, we first have to cut the paper.
Fold one corner of the paper over and align it with the edge of the paper.
Cut along the line to make the paper a square.
Then fold the paper in the middle twice and unfold it again.
Cut along the fold lines to create four equal squares.
Step 2: Make the Petals
This is where it gets fun.
Take one of the squares and fold one corner over to the other. You will end up with a triangle.
