How To Make A Paper Flower

If you are wanting to learn how to make a paper rose, then you are in the right place. This is the easiest flower template I’ve ever used.

You can make giant paper flowers, a tiny paper rose, whatever. It’s just an easy paper rose complete tutorial–no matter what size flower you want to make.

So, to make a paper rose, the complete tutorial duration is about 15 minutes, including the time it takes the Cricut to cut out 4 whole flowers–and you to roll them.

Also, with just a few supplies you can make beautiful a paper rose for you to use in shadow boxes, on cards even wedding bouquets. 

I posted a video on my Instagram the other day, it was a time-lapse of me making showing me making the paper rose, I was asked for a tutorial so many times that I decided to give it to you.

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

Firstly, all you have to do is load the template to Cricut Design Space and cut. After that, depending on the size you are going for you may have to adjust the DIY paper rose template.

Tips For Making A Paper Rose

  • Firstly, if you want the same size paper rose that I have, you don’t need to resize them at all and you can get two per printer sized pieces of colored paper and 4 per 12×12.
  • 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.

I made these beautiful paper rose shadow boxes for Mother’s day and my customers really loved them.

You can make these as small or as large as you like. 

And with this tutorial, you will definitely be able to add a little beauty to so many things. 

To sum it up, the possibilities are endless! Add a little glitter and give them some sparkle, dip the tips into a little paint or ink and recolor the edges, even use patterned paper to give it a more unique look.

I have plans of my own for teachers’ gifts, wedding bouquets, and even more shadow boxes.

    69. Jamela,
      Thank you for the flower template! It was also a bit tricky for me to find the link, but after going through your whole page, I found where it was. I cannot believe how many people could not find it nor take the time to read the comments left beforehand to find the answer! >.<. Sorry girl, for all the repeated directions you had to post!

      I was wondering how you got your roses to be different sizes? I like the smaller sized ones you cut on 8.5×11 paper, but I only have 12×12 cardstock. I know I could essentially size them however in DS, but I really do like the smaller size you specifically showed in your tutorial video. Please help! Thank you!!

      Reply

      1. The flower should cut as is when you load it. You will just have to adjust them on the sheet so you don’t waste a ton of paper.
