Crape Paper Rose Tutuorial

So, I've received quite a few emails on how I made my decorations for our GNO back in February!

 You will need an extra large roll to complete one small styrofoam ball, or 2 of the smaller rolls of crape paper

I used small styrofoam balls for these, but you can make them as big or little as you want. You can also make them with the styrofoam letters which I think would be beautiful for a wedding decoration.

 

1. Cut into 20''-22'' strips

2. Fold the top of the entire strip a 1/3 of the way down

3. Pinch/gather the bottom to create a 'stem' and start wrapping around with the folded flap on the OUTSIDE

4. Continue wrapping until finished and then bunch the bottom together and pinch and twist it and smash it together.

That's it! :) One small ball took about 300 roses.. they're super easy, just time consuming.. I found it easier to cut all my strips then fold, then roll, and glue them last. I burned my hand a few times, but they turned out beautiful.. ENJOY!! :)
