Scissors
Round tipped pen or embossing tool or any object with a smooth round end

Punchcraft Paper Roses Tutorial

To make the central rose you need just 3 five-petalled flowers so if you are drawing or tracing out a template  its pretty easy .

Make slits as shown towards the center of the flower .Apply glue at the cut edge .

Overlap each petal over the other and stick. You can make the cuts at the start or keep making cuts as you overlap the petals

After overlapping the petals you will get a conical flower.

Tip- overlap petals keeping your finger underneath for support as shown- makes it easier and gives a good shape to your flowers.

Gently shape the petal edges bu rolling over a pen , knitting needle or embossing tool-- whatever you can find as long as it gets the job done fast and easy!
