Supplies
Tools
  • Scissors
  • Retractable knife
Materials
  • Newspaper or magazine pages
  • Wood skewers
  • Glue
Directions
  • Cut out petals from newspaper or magazine pages :
    • smaller pieces for the inner petals
    • increasingly larger pieces for the outer petals

  • Put a dab of glue at the base of the smallest petal.   

      

  • With a rolling motion, glue the petal onto the wood skewer.

 

  • Glue the second petal to the skewer using the same technique, creating the center of the flower.

                         

  • Glue the rose petals to the skewer one at a time, saving the largest petals for the outermost layer.

 

  • For a more realistic effect, work the outer petals to give the impression of a rose in full bloom.
