My friend & sister of the the heart had asked about my paper roses.http://itsarealpain.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/day-114-help/ This is for her I have a close-up of a couple that were made ( 20 ) for a Red Hat High Tea in 2011. Although I do create them just out of paper and adhesive they are not my original technique; they can be found in plenty in the paper art world. Making them especially in the evening with music relaxes me. Works out great for a lowly old piece of paper. These paper roses were used to decorate individual tea boxes that sat on each table. They have nothing else embellished to them. There a few other ways to dress them up and one is using micro=glitter so it looks like fine drops of dew. Fun.~

Most attractive. When I was a kid, we used to make roses from crepe paper, then dip them in wax. Give you any ideas?
I want to know how Tess!! Please?? I have done tissue fliwers where you accrdiona fold, then gently pull each layer out. But wax dipped? AWsome! I am more than intriqued, always looking for more techniques. the more unusual the better.
Thanks Tess, I’ll be watching for an answer…….~ BB
These are SO SO gorgeous–and that glitter for dew idea sounds really wonderful! Hey, if I ever get married again (har har), will you do the flowers?

Coincidence… I was just looking up paper wreaths today online… first I had seen them and then came your post. Some of the wreaths I saw had roses like this on them. Very nice!
Such fun the things you can do with them. I am trying to teach myself a hydrangia now, all those mini blooms so yummy to create.
i want to a very large flower boguet, tall and wide. One I could never ever afford to be buy. I hav experiemented with stems and it is very do-able.
Let me know if you get started. A paper wreath is stunning~
