HOW TO MAKE A ROSE

How to make roses

Punch out heart shapes

Glue down one side. Notice it is not all around the heart

Glue the petals together making sure the points are together and the heart only comes across a quarter of the heart . Glue 4 petals together then leave to dry. Glue 3 petals together,then 2 petals. look at the following pictures. 

Notice the positions of the petals. They are over only one half of one side of the heart. The points are all together.

using your character tool run it across the hearts. this breaks down the fibres in the paper and makes it easier to work with

Turn over and repeat the proccess about 6 times

Put your thumb nail in the centre and turn into a cone shape

I have used the glue to show you were to stick the hearts together. Notice how we are keeping to half of one side of the heart shape, very important you do not go to half of a whole heart.

Glue down so it is a cone shape. remember do not glue half way over the heart keep the pattern as before .   

make cones using the other petals.

Use tweezers to make the last cone it's easier.

use your deet for the half heart roll it across so it curls. If it's not curling you are doing it to hard.

roll the smallest with yor fingers for a tight petal.

you should have 5 cones

using your thumband deet turn back the petals from the top. Do this to all the cones
