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!

  2. I think I will have to try it as I keep getting lost just after using the scrapping sticky. How are they wrapped? eeek. I must be having a bad craft moment as I can't picture it.

  4. @Dee thanks for the comments! You just tape & wrap them around the stem! I used 5 of the filters for one flower! I hope this helps! ~Marcy
