Paper Roses

The Baby Shower is now history, the day was beautiful and everything turned out great!

The most talked about decoration I had were these paper roses!

I promised everyone if they would check out my blog,

I would post instructions on how to make them!

These are made with white coffee filters (not the cone type) 

I dyed them in neon pink food coloring for 10 minutes.

Then I let them sit out in the sun for about 2 hours to dry,

you could put them in the oven on a baking sheet too,

I decided to let Mother Nature do the baking for me!

Here's everything I used

(and a pair of scissors)

Now to start making them ~ fold in half

Then fold again

and then fold a third time.

 cut the top to look like a flower petal.

I used scrap booking tape to secure each filter

when I wrapped them.

the flower stems are from Michael's bridal section
I used 5 filters for each rose

Pink Paper Roses

and they're so easy to make!
