DIY Paper Flower Corsages

Rose

Supplies:
* good artist’s paper works best for paper flowers in a variety of colors. Green for leaves. (Canson has a great selection)
* glue gun
* pencil
* scissors
* ruler
* plain brooch pin from a craft or jewelry shop

Create a lemon looking shape about 2” wide and 1 1/2” tall. You’ll need about 11 petals Start by creating the center of the rose. Make a tube shape with one petal and glue together. Squeeze the ends of another petal and surround and glue to the center repeat on the other side of the center as if hugging the center petal. Continue adding 5 more petals around the center with each layer becoming looser. Now with the 3 remaining petals curl the base of the petal with a pencil and glue it to the bottom of the flower so that the curled part comes out at the top. Repeat 2 more times Add green leaves to the bottom of the flower Glue the brooch pin to the bottom of the flower and you’re done!
