Paper roses are a great way to get away from everyday problems. They can be used to decorate gifts and cards, collect whole bouquets, hide candy or money in them. The only limitation is your own imagination! Here are 8 easy ways to make a beautiful paper rose!
1. Spiral rose
There is nothing easier: cut a circle out of a square piece of paper, cut it in a spiral like a snail, and twist it into a dense elastic rose! Change the size and density of the sheet, depending on your goals. To make the rose even more graceful, make the edge of the spiral wavy under the petals.
2. Paper rose with candy
To hide a small candy in a rose, cut identical corrugated paper petals. Calculate the size so that a small tail remains at the bottom, which you will then drag with a thread. You can also insert a skewer or wire for the stem into it. It is very convenient to form boats and bends from corrugated petals so that the rose is textured and the candy is firmly held in place.
3. Origami rose for beginners
For such a rose, be sure to take thick double-sided paper - and it will open in all its glory. Fold the square into a three-dimensional triangle - a standard origami blank. Lift up the bottom corners of the base and lower their tops again. Expand each of them into a small square and do the same on the back.
Bring down the top of the small house that you made after the previous steps. Take the rose by this fold, unfold the multi-layered part and arrange it into a square, as in the photo. Lift both triangles up perpendicularly and gently twist the rose right behind them.
4. Rose from paper petals
Cut out an octagon-base from a dense sheet, on which you will attach the petals. Cut more blanks, make each bend in the middle and wrap the edges with a toothpick. Glue them to the base from the edges to the center, placing one petal on top of the other - it will take about eight pieces.
You can make the next layer a little smaller or wrap it tighter. To form the middle of the bud, glue two petals together and wrap one around the other. Then wrap them with the same blank cross on a cross and put them in the middle of the flower.
5. Rose with textured center
This rose resembles the previous one, but you'd better cut the petals into three different sizes right away. In the same way, shape the boat, twist the edges with a toothpick and glue the petals into a ring. In total, you will have three layers of six petals each. For the middle, take a long strip of the same paper, cut it into small pieces with a fringe, roll it into a tube and glue it.
6. Bulky rose made of corrugated paper
Here, for the petals, take some crepe paper and shape each one by gently pulling it out from the center. Collect the petals one by one on a wooden skewer until you get the density of the bud you need. Secure the base with green tape, wrap the entire stem and glue the leaves to match. Your beautiful rose is ready!
7. Multi-layered paper rose
For another variation on the theme of a multi-layered rose, you will not need individual petals, but whole layers at once. Cut three or four flowers out of red paper, gradually reducing their size. Twist the petals in different directions and assemble the entire structure with glue or a pin. All that remains is to glue the flower into a leaf support, which can also be made in two parts.
8. Origami rose from paper
Fold the paper square into a diamond diagonally using the standard pattern. Turn its lower left side up and smooth it well. Such a rose is immediately assembled from small segments, so carefully follow each stage in the picture.
Flip the rhombus and in the same way unfold its other half upwards with a triangle. After all the manipulations, you will get a specific L-shaped blank with the top up. Bring this vertex down, as if you are expanding the rhombus again, but start spinning the petals.
Carefully wrap each next petal around the previous one and help yourself with a thin pencil or toothpick. When you have formed a whole rose, gently wind all its edges with the same toothpick so that they are textured.
