We just left behind the season of love inspired crafts, which was awesome. Today we will be making paper flowers with this Penelope paper rose DIY tutorial.
Helpful Hint: If you’d like to downside the overall size of your flower, just exclude the largest petal size from your assembly & you’ll end up with a smaller completed rose.
Cut the following number of petals:
– XL petal – 8 cuts
– Large petal – 8 cuts
– Medium petal – 8 cuts
– Small petal – 8 cuts
– Center petals – 12 cuts
– One 8-sided base
Start with XL petal. Cut about a 2 inch slit in the bottom center edge of the petal vertically. Add a touch of glue on one edge and slightly overlap the two pieces.
Using your 8 sided base piece, begin to glue an X-Large petal to each side of the base. Using an 8 sided base allows us to insure that our flower is symmetrical.
