How to Make a Paper Rose Easily

Learn how to make a paper rose with my video tutorial! I created these Easy Paper Roses for my Queen of Hearts Valentine’s Day party, but these can work for any occasion!

I saw a tutorial on Pinterest for these, but it didn’t go back to the right link, the proper sources weren’t credited and there was no text. I hate it when that happens, so I decided to kind of wing it with these. I love paper flowers, and I knew roses would fit perfectly with my party theme. They were actually way easier than I expected and now I have a whole bin in my craft closet dedicated to paper flowers.I would put these all over my house if red was my color. 

I would put these all over my house if red was my color. I will have to make some teal roses STAT! 

How To Make A Paper Rose Tutorial Supplies:

• My FREE Templates
• Card Stock, any color
• Scissors or a Silhouette Cameo (do the cameo…it will make your life so much better!)
• Double Sided Tape
• Hot Glue Gun

How To Make A Paper Rose Step-By-Step:

1. Cut out 5 of the flower templates for each rose. Set aside one circle from the middle of the flowers.
2. Fold at each petal for 4 of the flower templates.
3. Cut the last one in half so there are 4 petals on each side.
4. Fold at each petal for one side of the flower template, and leave the other flat.
5. Cut the first template at one petal, then set aside. For each petal after, cut off one more petal until the fourth template has 5 petals.
6. Bend each petal so the flower looks like it’s blooming, then tape the end petals together with double sided tape.
7. Repeat step 7 for each template.
8. When you finish with all the folded pieces, get the flat template and roll it up.
9. Get the circle from the middle of one of your flower templates and put hot glue on it. 
10. Attach the bottom of the flower to the circle, then let the glue dry.

I attached the paper roses to my wall using Command Poster Strips. I love them because they’re inexpensive, super easy to use and durable (without tearing up my walls). I use them ALL THE TIME! If you plan on throwing a lot of parties, or changing up your decor a lot, you need these in your life. I can’t tell you how many paint jobs I ruined before I got these. And no, they are not sponsoring this post, I just love them.

I also took this a step further and printed out red on one side and the polka dot pattern from my Queen of Heart Printables on the other. Takes up a ton of ink, but I’m loving how gorgeous they are!
