Paper Rosette

Hi guys. Paper Rosettes are very simple to make and can be used to decor your wall or be used in part decorations. You could also use them to make paper hangings.
You need the following things:
1. Different color paper
2. Glue or hot glue
3. Paper cutter
4. Pencil and ruler

1. I have made 4 rosettes so i have taken 4 different color papers. The four papers have sizes of 1.5inch, 2inch, 2.5inch and 3inch width. The length is 12inches for all four. As i moved onto the 2.5inch wide paper i noted that with 12inches length the paper could not be folded into a circle so i used another strip of 2.5inch x 12inch. So you will need two strips for the 2.5inch and 3inch wide rosettes.


2. Take the first strip which is 1.5inch x 12inch and mark at 1/4inch all through the length of the strip.


3. Fold the strip in accordion style. To make it easier and even you can score at each 1/4 and then fold.


4. Stick the 2 ends of the paper with glue or hot glue.


5. Slowly bring the paper together and press it towards the center. Put hot glue at the center so that the paper sticks together. To make it more secure you can also stick another paper at the back. I punched out a circle in another paper and stuck it in the middle at the back. The Paper Rosettes are ready.



6. Repeat the above steps with the remaining strips of paper. As i have mentioned in Step 1, the 2.5inch and 3inch strips will need an extra strip of paper each.
