Instructions

  • Cut Four Squares from book pages
  • Fold each square into a triangle 3 times.
  • Ensure that all folded edges are on the same side.
  • Cut a half circle to form the tops of each petal
  • Snip the point of the triangle to form a circle in the middle of each piece.
  • Cut away one petal, then two petals, then three petals and on the 4th pieces cut in half. Keep all pieces.
  • Add glue to the edges of each piece and form a cone shape by overlapping the two ends.
  • You will have 8 cone shapes when you finish.
  • Use a round cylinder, such as a small paintbrush handle or toothpick to roll the tops of each petal.
  • Begin to add adhesive to the points of each cone and stack one inside the other from largest to smallest.
  • Place in a glass or jar to allow dry time.
  • Add paper leaves as an option. Cut from the leftover book pages and adhere to the outside of the rose.
