DIY Giant Paper Rose
For a long time I’ve wanted to create the perfect looking paper rose. The rose that trumps all other paper roses I’ve made thus far.Â
Â
Working on the center was certainly the challenge for me and took several tries and fails before I felt somewhat happy with my look.Â
I’m sure I will improve with more practice, but I wanted to share what I’ve done so far.Â
Say hello to her Royal Highness, Majesty Rose. She measures a bit over 14 inches in diameter in this tutorial. If you want it to be bigger, around 18 inches, add 5th layer of extra large petals.Â
Â
This is certainly an intermediate to advanced paper flower. So if you are new to crafting in generally or paper crafts I suggest starting with a more basic giant flower.Â

Â
First let’s go over supplies and petal count.
Â
Supplies
- Scissors and/or cutting machine (I use Cricut)Â
- Glue gun and sticks
- Templates from my shop
- 65 lb card stock in color of your choice
- Circle punch (you can use a small cut square if you don’t have one or cut a circle with your machine)Â
- Patience, one more time….Paaaatienccce… I’ve been making paper flowers for almost 7 years and even I had 3 trashed attempts before I was happy enough to photograph.Â
Â
Petal Count
We will be working in layers. Each layer represents a diferent petal size. There are 4 petal sizes for this flower and a center.Â
1st layer = Largest petal
2nd layer = Next size down.. and so on..
- 1st layer 8-9 petals
- 2nd layer 7-8 petals
- 3rd layer 6-7 petals
- 4th layer 8 petals (you will be splitting these into groups of 4)
- 2 center petal cuts
1. Begin the same way we do with all my giant flowers, by cutting 1 1/2-2 inch slits in the middle.Â
2. And then overlap slightly.Â
3. Glue the inner edge of the petals together forming a circle as shown above.Â
4. Connect the petals and glue a circle over the open hole on the bakcside
5. You can now going to continue the same way with the next 2 layers
Rose Center
Â
6. This is where this becomes a bit more advanced..
7. Start with one of your center petal cuts and wrap the two petal pieces opposite to each other around one another.Â
Â
8. Repeat with the two remaining. Leaving a little space as you go.Â
Â
9. Glue your first center piece onto the second center piece.Â
Â
10. Repeat the same process leaving a bit of space.Â
11. Now for your 4th small layer of petals you will cut slits and overlap like the other 3 layers, but with these 8 petals you will give a crease that the bottom as shown above. This is going to help them stand up better.Â
Â
12. Glue your first 4 petals around kinda like a square.Â
Â
13. Then glue the last 4 between the first 4 petals as shown.Â
Â
Â
14. Glue in your center and admire your pretty flower!
