How to make giant rose from printer paper, FREE template
Previously, I made this video tutorial to make a giant rose step by step from printer paper, with FREE template.
And I just updated the picture tutorial to make giant roses from cardstock, with better vine leaves template.
It’s so easy, so simple yet beautiful. Why not DIY wedding or party decor?

Step by step instruction to make giant rose:
7 steps to make a giant rose paper flower:
Step 1. Grab your A4 printer paper or cardstock (from 120 to 180gsm).
You could definitely use A3, A2, A1 or A0 to make giant roses, please consider to use heavyweight paper for the larger flower
Step 2. Cut the petals from the template.
You could use your Cricut to cut from SVG template or manually cut the PDF template by your scissors.
For the printer paper version, I cut 18 petals, 1 triangle, and 2 pentagons.
For the cardstock version, I cut 23 petals, 1 triangle, and 3 pentagons.
Color the petal if you want. In the video, I use watercolor for the orange flower and pastel chalk for the pink one, and I love the texture effect of watercolor more.
If you use watercolor, consider drawing water first as it will help to blend your color easier.
Step 3. Glue 3 petals with the triangle for the first layer.
Use a stick to curve the petal and form these 3 petals for the center of the giant rose.
Step 4. For the 2 outer petal layers, glue 5 petals with the pentagon and use a stick to make the petal’s curves.
Then glue each petal to the center accordingly.
Step 5. For the outer layer, cut and shape the petals and glue it to the flower.
Step 6. For the last layer, cut a line to divine the bottom of each petal.
Then glue it to form a curved petal before gluing to the flower.
Step 7. Insert a string to the bottom of the bottom of the flower before covering by a large circle.
This string will help you to hang the giant rose to where you want.

Tutorial to make giant rose from cardstock.
For backdrop arrangement:
Like arranging a centerpiece or a bouquet, the backdrop will be fancier if there have big, medium and small flowers, foliages and fillers, with color harmony. It will be boring if we arrange the same size flowers together, like this, lol.
Materials to make a large/giant rose:

Cricut or scissors.
Printer paper, or cardstock (This cardstock is so cheap, highly recommended)

Can I just say, your video goes way to fast and the music makes me want to move faster… then my project turns out like crap… especially when someone has anxiety…
Hi Mandy,
Pls go to my youtube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7LQoPRENbI&t=13s, turn off the music, and play at the lower speed (0.25x). Or you can play and pause at each step. I’m affraid that people will be boring at my normal speed hehe.
Your website is lovely but it takes forever to find the link to the templates. Sometimes your material list is at the top, sometimes it’s at the bottom of the page, sometimes the link to the template is there, sometimes it’s somewhere else in the post. This is very confusing and makes it hard to find the link. Also the templates are great but some are not labeled properly (eg flower template plain – which flower is this?). The template also needs a small box giving basic instructions just in case the person cannot find the matching instructions on the website. Also all the videos make it hard to navigate on the website and slows everything down. Please don’t think Im being mean – I am just offering constructive criticism. I love your website and think your flowers are amazing.
Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I will think about this and will need your further advise.
Wow! So delicate and pretty flowers. Thanks for share your art. We really appreciate all your effort and talents. I need this for my niece wedding decoration. Thanks you so much for helping this so the handcrafter auntie.
I’m glad you like it. Congrast, Marae.
Amazing tutorial. thank you so much! If I wanted to cut this on my cricut, what size/proportion of the petals and middle piece should I cute to make the large rose.
I use same size for every layer in this tutorial, Saima 🙂
Will this work with construction paper?
I have not tried yet. Just do it 🙂
Thank you so much!! Out of all the vague, half posted, hard to follow tutorials out there that say free and aren’t, I didn’t think I would be able to make the flowers for my little girls birthday party. Thanks to you and this amazing free template and easy to understand guide she was blown away at her very merry birthday mad tea party!! Love this! Thanks again!
I’m glad that you love it, Sarah. 🙂

Your flowers are so beautiful and I love that they’re made from simple materials. I have been searching for info on how to make a flexible stem for an extra large rose (or any other large flower). Any ideas that don’t include chicken wire?
Many thanks
Thanks Debbie. Yes, I’ve just share my ideas for the standing stem for large rose just several days ago: https://www.dreamyposy.com/large-poppy-tutoria/. Please check it out and leave me your thought
Wow… what a wonderful website and great tutorials. I am looking forward to trying for my wedding backdrop next year. If I can make one look good, then I’m off to the races… racing time til the big day. I will definitely send pictures. Thank you for posting tutorials and free templates. – Pamela
Oh, congratulations on your big day next year, Pamela. It’s so sweet to hear so. Do you interesting in stand-free giant flower? I can make some tutorials then 🙂
the template is printing with your watermark. How do I print without the watermark?
Thank you for passing by, Teresa. People used to cut the template on a cardstock and save it for next time. Then you use the cardstock as the pattern on your printer paper.
Thanks!
You are welcome, Teresa 🙂

Thank you so much, Janet, for taking time to comment and motivate me 🙂
Hello Dreamy Posy,
I just discovered your awesome creations on YouTube.
Your flowers are lovely and your tutorials make them looks very do-able. I’m going to give them a try for my mom’s 95th birthday party.
Before I rush out to buy my printer paper, can you tell me what size to buy….8.5″X11″ or something larger?
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
Oh hello Marilyn, I’m so thrilled to hear your mom’s 95th birthday party. Wish her all the best.
I always try to make my flower from simple materials, so all my templates are designed for A4 (8.5″x11″) or A5 size only. But if you want to use giant rose from A3 size, please consider to use heavier weight one. 🙂
Thank you so much. If I can make them near as lovely as your’s are, I’ll send photos.
I’m sure that you could do it lovely. It’s really my honor to see your photos. I have never been tagged by my subscriber, I hope you are the first, Marilyn :))
