To make the paper roses:
Stack 3 pages together at a time. This will make the roses look much better than a single page.
Cut out 3 to 4" spirals from the stack of book pages.
You can draw a spiral on the paper to make it easier, but after the 20th time I didn't need to follow the lines anymore.
 |
Draw a spiral on your page. It doesn't have to be perfect. |
Starting from the outside of the spiral, roll the paper tightly. As you get closer to the ends loosen the paper to make the rose fan out.
The inside of the spiral makes a circle. When you have rolled the paper to the circle dab hot glue on the bottom of the rose and fold the circle over it. This will keep the rose from unwrapping. If you use three pages you will need to glue the remaining to circles together.
 |
Roll until you reach the circle at the end of the spiral |
 |
Glue the under side of the rose. |
 |
Fold the circle over the glued part of the rose. |
 |
The finished rose |
