Flowers can brighten any room. If you want to use paper flowers but are not fond of the artificial look, make your own paper roses. Create custom blooms you are sure to be satisfied with by following this simple procedure.

Materials:
Crepe paper
Floral wire
Green floral tape
Thin floral wire

Tools:
Scissors
Pinking sheers
Wire cutters
Glue

  1. Cut out petals with scissors. The shapes do not have to be uniform. For a realistic size, the petals should be no more than 2 inches in height. Try for a teardrop shape. Start with fifteen petals. As you build the flower, you may wish to use more or less. Lay the leaves out onto a table. They will curl up a little at the edges.
  2. Cut leaves with pinking shears. Place two sheets of green crepe paper together, then cut out the leaves. Pinking sheers will add nice edges to the leaves. Cut out small and medium sized leaves for some variety.
  3. Insert stem and glue leaves. Cut wire 3 to 4 inches in length. Choose one of the leaf pairs. Separate the two layers at one end. Place the stem wire in the center of the leaf to about halfway. Place glue around the edges of the leaf on both sides and down toward the stem. Hold the two layers of the leaf together and press to secure them. Make as many leaves as your taste desires.
  4. Roll petal around stem. Cut wire 8 to 10 inches in length for flower stem. Start with the first petal. Lay it flat onto a table. Place the stem on top of the petal. Place a row of glue on the outside of the petal to approximately halfway. Curl the petal around the stem and twist at the base to secure the glue. Make the first petal as tight as you want the flower to look – tighter for buds but slightly open for a rose in bloom....
