Flower Friday- Paper Flower Tutorial Time!

Love this flower we are working on today! It is so easy and you only need 3 things! Glue (preferrably hot glue, but any quick dry will do), Paper (a square, any size will work, the size of your square will impact the size of your flower.) I used a 6x6 piece and scissors! Sounds easy right? It is!! Let's get started!

3 Supplies necessary, Glue Gun, Scissors and Paper!

Cut a spiral into your paper, make sure you keep it about 3/4 to 1 inch thick all the way around.

You will need to cut scallops into your paper. Make sure you go down to about 1/4 inch away from the inside edge of your spiral! This is important to make sure you can curl the edges! 

In order to form the rose, fold down the outside edge to a 90 degree as shown above, this will form the bud of your rose. Start rolling here. Slightly tighter at first to get a nice bud, then looser to form a fuller rose.

Here is what it looks like about half way rolled!

Here is a completely rolled Rose, you will need to "let this out" a bit. That means to let go slowly as it unravels slightly!

This is what your rose will look like if you stop here and do not curl the edges or add any embellishments! I used the hot glue to seal the bottom to the bud!

And this is what you get when you roll the petals, ink the edges and spray it with a good coat of shimmery glimmer!

I hope you enjoyed this Photo Flower tutorial! If you would like to watch a video of me making this flower in real time! You can watch it below!
