i will be showing you how to make a rose wreath
Credit goes Tonya Dirk
I used double sided paper for this not too think though or it will be harder to cut
First off cut 3 squares i used 3″ (the smaller rose) 4″ 5″ and 6″
Fold the first square into a triangle and another triangle and another triangle (first pic)
Now cut the top off into a cone shape and snip a small bit off the bottom.
unfold your flower and start cutting the petals
taking the first flower cut 2 petals off, 2nd flower cut 3 petals, 3rd flower cut in half and on one of the half flowers cut one petal
so your petals should look like the 3rd image.
I inked the edges,now taking the larger flower that has 6 petals glue together to make the rose and do this to all except the ones that have one petal and two petals.
when dry take a tooth pick and roll the top edge of all, now roll the 1& 2 petals like a bud.
Now place and glue all the flowers inside each other
and presto your rose is completed.
