DIY Paper Rose: A Beautiful Handmade Decoration

Creating a paper rose is the perfect craft! These beautiful blooms are not only cost-effective but also last forever. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, this simple tutorial will guide you through making your own gorgeous paper rose. What You’ll Need To get started, gather the following materials: Colored cardstock or craft paper (pink is used in this project, but any color works). Scissors. A pencil or template for petals. Glue or a glue gun. A wooden skewer or pencil (optional, for shaping petals). Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Prepare Your Petals Start by cutting out multiple petal shapes in varying sizes. You’ll need a mix of small, medium, and large petals to create the layered effect. If you’re unsure about the shape, draw a simple teardrop pattern or find a printable petal template online. 2. Shape the Petals To make your rose look realistic, gently curl the edges of each petal using a wooden skewer or pencil. Roll the edges outward for the outer petals and inward for the smaller ones to mimic a natural rose.
