What you need to make a rose out of paper is:

- Secondly, watch the roses video to learn how to roll your roses.
- In conclusion, use thick card stock paper for more a firm paper rose, or lighter card stock if you want to give it more texture and folds.
I was amazed at how easy it was to make these roses and how super cute they looked finished.
