Sometimes, adding a personal touch to your home without breaking the bank is as simple as getting crafty. For me and Steve, that means being discerning about the craft projects we choose, as we appreciate a clean, sophisticated look with a hint of warmth and a family-friendly feel. While we always enjoy fresh flowers in our home, these DIY paper rose projects are elegant, beautiful, and creative. (And, of course, they’re paper, so they’re budget-friendly.) Use them for outdoor parties, weddings, or tablescaping – you get the idea! You’ll enjoy all the floral flair without the shock of fresh flower prices. We’ve curated the best blogger ideas – not your average tissue paper roses. Learn how to make paper roses; it’s surprisingly easy!
How to Make Paper Roses with Templates
Let’s start with a simple paper rose DIY tutorial by ‘Hello Wonderful’. They provide a printable template you can use, then trace the shapes onto cardstock and cut out. Add a little hot glue and their step-by-step instructions, and you’ll have a stunning rose! Think of all the different types of paper and colors you could use. Your local craft store has plenty of options in the scrapbooking aisle.
More large paper rose DIY’s from ‘Studio DIY’. These were made from crepe paper instead of cardstock. We love the tips on how to shape petals and adding stems for a more realistic look.
For those with a paper cutting machine, ‘Abbi Kirsten Collections’ has a template for making paper roses. This project uses a Cricut or Silhouette craft cutting machine. (If you want one, and if you do any type of crafting, then you do, check out Amazon!) She also has a PDF version of her template for those without a cutting machine.
These paper roses are perfect for a graduation party, wedding, or summer reunion – any occasion where you want to add a touch of elegance and romance. You can also use them as a centerpiece or add them to a vase for a beautiful arrangement. With these tutorials, you can create your own paper roses and add a personal touch to any setting.
