✂️ Paper Flowers: Step-by-Step Instructions with Photos and Comments

For these delicate paper roses, we use colored craft paper. It's important that it can be easily cut and rolled – so thinner paper is preferable. For the perfect circle shape, you can either use a compass or simply use a small round object like a glass, a cup, or tape as a template.

Tip: It's best to glue the flowers onto the gift packaging with hot glue – that way they hold immediately and you don't have to wait long.

You will need:

  • Colored paper (e.g., pink, red, pastel)
  • Compass or round object (e.g., glass)
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Hot glue gun
