Truly. I am never bored. I think that is the great thing about being a creative person. You're always thinking, looking, experimenting, making........Tonight I'm fascinated by creating paper roses.
I'm making dozens of these and then will hot glue them to a wreath form.....or a cone form...or maybe a heart shaped box.....not sure yet.
Here is how you do it:
:: Cut a square of colored card stock. Trim it into a circle shape. Don't worry about being perfect. Cut a spiral.
:: Starting at the end, begin rolling paper tightly. Roll until you reach the center of the spiral....this is the bottom of the rose.
:: Hot glue to a wreath form or use as an embellishment to a card. So much you could do with them!!
Years ago I made these with students in art class but I got re-inspired with them from someone on Pinterest! Another addiction I now have :)
As you might have guessed, I'm thinking about Valentine's Day and making a few things to decorate our dining room. I love being festive! This weekend I plan on making dozens of Valentine cookies that will be decorated very fancy.....I'll be sure to post.....I'm bound to make one giant mess!
