Paper Rose Bud Tutorial

I have been making a lot of these little roses this week, to add to my Valentine Cards and gift boxes, so I thought it would be perfect for my first tutorial

. There are lots of tutorials for these little roses on the internet, and this is mine.

To start you will need a strip of paper approx. 25cm long by 1cm wide – you can buy these pre-cut from many craft and origami sites, as Lucky Star kits but you can also cut your own from any favourite paper you may have – quick note though, you don’t want the paper to be too thick or if will be difficult to shape.

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, if it has inspired you to have a go then let me know - I'd love to see what you create :)

Please not the design for the rose is not my own but the tutorial, including words and photos, and the design of thecard shown in the first photos is.
