Today let’s try our hands at paper roses. This a quick and simple spiral rose. You will need:
- Scissors
- Paper – scraps, pages from catalogs or junk mail letters or even candy wrappers
- Glue (if you’ve got a hot glue gun, even better)
Method:
- Take your paper and cut it into a rough circle (image 1).
- With your scissors cut a spiral from the circle leaving a small circle on the inside, to serve as rose attachment (image 2).
- Starting with the outer edge of the spiral, roll the paper (image 3).
- When you get to the center allow the spiral to relax into the shape of a rose (image 4). Use glue to attach the spiral to the center. If not using a hot glue gun you will have to hold the project together for a few minutes so the glue can set.
Experiment with making different sized flowers by using different sized starting circles and different width spirals.
