to adorn different projects. Each rose will be unique, just like you!
I am sharing how to take paper, such as newspaper, and
drawing pad and cut it into 1- or 1.5-inch strips that are about 12-inches long. The drawing paper is lightweight
Using paper is both easier and trickier than using ribbon. Depending on the ribbon, it can be slippery and hard to

1 Cut the paper into strips about 1- to 1.5-inches wide and 12- to 15-inches
long. Take the right end and fold down about 2 inches as pictured. A triangle point will form at the right end of the paper strip.
2 Pick the paper strip up and from the right end; start to roll the paper clockwise across to the left side. Roll tightly until you have 2-3 layers.
This forms the center of the rose.
3 Continue to roll
the paper strip clock- wise but now slightly fold the top
edge over as you make a turn when you roll the strip. This forms the outer rose petals. As you roll, hold the bot- tom of the rose in place. The top edge of the ribbon will be more open and the bottom edge will be held close

inches left of the
paper strip, bring
the end to the
bottom to meet with the beginning of the strip. Then wrap/twist the two straight ends together under the rose.
Tape the ends
together so the rose does not unravel.

paper and make it
more pliable. You
can carefully shape
the petals at this
time. Set aside to
dry. When the rose dries, add a light coat of clear sealent.
