Step-by-step guide..ROLLED ROSE..

Hello!!... I fancied doing something different on here today so I put together this pictorial step-by-step guide for you..

HOW TO MAKE A ROLLED ROSE..

Step 1: Start by punching out lots of squares from your choice of cardstock or paper - I used the 1 3/8" Stampin up punch - you'll need around 20 squares..

Step 2: Fold the top right corner of the square down towards the bottom left. leaving a small lip..

Step 3: Fold the top left corner down towards the bottom right, lining it up at the bottom with the first fold - so now you have the lip just along the bottom.. 

Step 4: Repeat with all 20 squares..

Step 5: Curl each one by wrapping around a pencil..

Step 6: Roll one of you petals completely around itself & glue into place..

Step 7: Roll a second petal around the first one & glue into place - you only need to add glue along the bottom lip..

Step 8: Continue rolling petals around the outside, gluing each one as you go - here's what it will look like from above..

Step 9: Continue rolling & gluing petals around the outside - again & again..

..& again & again..

..& again & again! until you've used up all 20 of your petals..

Step 10: wait for the glue to dry completely & then carefully bend down the tips of the petals with your fingers.. & add leaves if you desire..

Step 11: Sit back, have a cuppa & be very proud of your gorgeous rose!!!! :)
