Step 1: Cut the petals with the free template.

You can choose any color paper you want, I made some with printer paper 80gsm (21lbs). But I found that paper from 120 gsm (32 lbs) to 160gsm works better for this rose.

On each flower, we will need 4 pink 5-petal- layers and 1 green sepal. The free template is in both PDF and SVG files now.

It means the PDF file is for hand-cut while the SVG file is for the cutting machines.

If you cut by hand, be sure to use sharp scissors, so that the petal cuts are neat.

Step 2: Form the curves of the petals

Use the edge of the scissor to curve the petal. Try to curl both sides of the petals.

Step 3: Assemble the petals

Glue the floral wire gauge #20 to the first layer. A small cool glue on the head of the wire will help to fix the stem with the flower.

Use your fingers and glue gun to attach the next layers accordingly. Please refer to the video instructions for clearer view

Step 4: Finish the sepal, receptacle, and stem of the paper rose.

Cut the sepal template on green paper color and glue at the bottom of the flower.

Then wrap a small strip of tissue paper to form the receptacle.
Use the green floral tape to wrap all the sepals and the stem.

Step 5: Make the rosebud

I made 2 types of rosebud. The first one will need 1 layer (5 petals) only.

And the second rosebud will need 2 layers (equals 10 petals)

Step 6: Make the paper rose leaves

Cut the leaf with the template.
Then using my technique in the video to cut the edge of the leaf will help the leaf be more realistic

Use the head of the scissor to create the leaf’s vein
Then glue the leaf to the wire gauge26 with white glue

After finishing the single leaves, arrange 5 leaves to make a rose branch.
