♥ Tissue paper rose - Tutorial
Hey Peoplez~~ =]
Hope all your holiday's been well 'cause we'll be going back to school in a couple of days!
So~ Valentines is just around the corner and maybe you're thinking about buying that someone special a gift... Well, instead of buying something with $$, you can make the gift yourself~ Therefore, I'm going to teach you how to make these gorgeous roses out of tissue paper (not very environmentally friendly I know but at least it can last for a long time ^^)
Okay, to make these you'll need:
Then, get a cheap pen and take the core out. Use the core to curl up one corner of the square like follow.
When you finished curling up 1/3 of the corner, push the 2 sides of the tissue from the pen toward the middle so that it creates wrinkles.
Do the same with 2 other corner and you'll have a petal. Follow the steps to make 11 petals... make some extras if you think you'll screw up =]
Now to make the stamen. Follow the last steps, now curl the left & the right side of the petal together.
One by one, glue the petals to the side of the stamen... doesn't matter what the order is, just glue them wherever you find space.
When you're done, you should end up with something like this.
Wrap the crepe paper & cello around the finished rose, tie a bow at the bottom with ribbons and if you want... Paint it =].
When you're all done, you'll have a lovely rose that make a perfect gift of V'day filled with love. Just a few notes on making the petals: I personally would use toilet paper because that makes the perfect size and if you use tissues with 3 ply, be sure to take 1 layer off otherwise it'd be hard to create the wrinkles when the paper is too thick.
So there you go, a rose that will bloom for a very long time~ Hope it helps with your Valentine pressies :D
