Paper Rose Tutorial
1. 2. 3. 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
Instructions:
1. Punch out three flowers using a 6-petal flower punch. Fold them along the petal lines as shown.
2. On the first flower, cut a slit down the side of one petal to the center (do not cut off any petals on this
one). On the second flower, cut off one petal, and on the third one cut off two petals. Optional: ink the
edges of the petals.
3. Fold the flowers into a cone shape and snip off the bottom point so that your flowers won’t be too
bulky.
4. Put a little glue onto one of the petals of each of the three flowers and glue one petal over the other as
shown.
5. Now you will have the first three outside layers of your rose.
6. Using the handle of a small paintbrush, curl the edges of the petals back. For a tighter curl, you can
use a toothpick.
7. Your layers should look like they do in photo number 7.
8. Stack the three layers in order of size with the biggest one on the bottom, and adhere the layers to each
other with glue. Now you are ready to make two inside petal layers.
9. For the second-to-the-last layer, take your 2-petal piece and curl the petals back with the paintbrush
handle (or toothpick) like you did with the big petals. Wrap it around itself in the shape of an ice cream
cone. Leave it somewhat loose because you are going to be inserting the final petal in the middle. Cut off
the bottom point.
10. For the final inside petal, take the one petal piece and curl back the edge, then wrap it around itself
tightly. Snip off the edge, and insert it into the 2-petal piece you just completed. Add these final pieces
to the center of your rose and secure them in place with a dab of glue.
