paper roses

OK this was quick SO hope I captured more of this than the "ball"

Supplies:( I am taking from my previous list)
construction paper
pencil (or something in the shape of)
scissors
in addition You may also want to use a dab of hot glue (which I forgot to mention previously)
Start with a circle

start cutting curving your scissors, or if you have them, you can use the scissors with a curved edge.

you will eventually end up with this

Start rolling the same end u begn cutting first around your pencil (or whatever u use)
try and keep it rolled in one spot
I took a picture and unrolled a little

hot glue the very end flap to the rolled up part
careful not toglue the pencil

pull it off the pencil carefully

you have your rose!
hot glue them to the base wherever you want to have them

  1. Very interesting I use to cut paper like this when I was younger out of pure boredom but never thought of trying to turn it into something. Will be trying this with my daughter we are always looking for new inexpensive things to try as we both love to craft. Thank you for posting this. :)

  2. I too love inexpensive and beautiful things! I will continue trying to post more of those! My biggest problem is picture taking as I do it! But I promise more to come!
