Paper Flower Tutorial- Punchcraft Rose

Paper Flower Tutorial
Paper Flowers
I love making Paper Flowers and these punchcraft flowers helped so much in  transforming this tin can and cardboard box in yet another recycling craft.
Recycling Craft
I made a stationery set of a pen stand and easel box type notepaper holder and decorated them with vintage paper , some quilling and lots of punchcraft paper flowers.
Paper Flowers
I have never worked with vintage style paper -- this was part of a winnings from Lil Bee Boutique[Thank You  Hana].So quite unsure how it has balanced out with the punchcraft flowers. 
Paper Flowers
This is the lid of the box with quilled leaves and punchcraft flowers.

Paper Flowers
The lid of the box has an extra flap which can stand up like an easel to display the paper flowers. 
Paper Flowers
One can add a small photo or quote on the inner panel of the recycled box.

Recycling craft
On the lower half of the box I added  a lacy pearl border  and some tiny punchcraft flowers.
Paper Flowers
This matching stationery set was inspired by 2 blogger friends  Hussena and Priya Sondhi who do such an awesome job of color coordination and " matching"! Do drop by their blogs to be fascinated!
This is the closeup of the rose on the tin can which I recycled into a craft tool holder /penstand.To match with the box , I used the same type of punchcraft flowers.

How to Make a Paper Rose
Materials required
1.Paper - normal thickness paper is enough and not cardstock [which is so much tougher to punch and shape ]
2.Paper Punches- I used the pear punch for this rose. You can hand cut rough pear shapes too! The circle punch is optional-- the circle or any other shape is used to form the base of the paper rose. 

Paper Flower Tutorial
3.Glue
4.Shaping tool- optional ....you can use a pen or knitting needle as alternatives
Make the Paper Rose Petals
Punch 12 pear shapes and shape each into a flower petal. Gently roll back the 2 corners of the pear shape as shown in the photo of the paper flower tutorial 

Paper Flower Tutorial
I find it quicker to shape all 12 paper flower petals in one go!
Paper Flower Tutorial 
Make the central rose bud  
Take 4 of the shaped petals and bend the narrow part of the pear shape at a right angle as shown . Make the inner most petal by increasing the bend of the 2 corners ,applying glue on one corner flap and gluing in place to form a conical bud.
Paper Flower Tutorial
Take a 2nd petal and apply glue as shown at the corners and the base. Wrap it around the first petal to make the bud. 
Paper Flower Tutorial
Take 2 more petals bend at right angles at the narrow part ,apply glue at the base and lower part of the erect part.Slide and wrap both these petals around the bud. You can add more petals in the same fashion to give a more fuller rose bud.
Paper Flower Tutorial
Pinch the upper part of the pear shape with the thumb and index of one finger . Using the thumb of the other hand to create the central crease makes it quick and easy[Sounds tricky but its not!!]. Bend the narrow base at a right angle. Apply glue at the base and lower edges of the paper flower petal.
Paper Flower Tutorial
This picture shows the 8 shaped petals and the central bud of the paper rose
Paper Flower Tutorial
Place the bud on the base of one petal and wrap the petal around it. In this way surround the bud with 3 petals to make a mini paper flower.
Paper Flower Tutorial
Add 5 petals to surround the central flower. I find this stage the trickiest as I use normal glue which takes its own sweet time to dry! 
To help the petals stay in place I shaped a circle into a cup and pasted it as a base to hold the petals of the flower together. 
Another trick is to insert the paper rose into the hole of the circle punch -- this helps to hold the petals in position while the glue dries on your paper punchcraft rose

Your flowers are wonderful, I think many of us probably under use our punches, I know I do, I am also happy to know that I have a similar 'pear' shaped punch, even more so that I know where it is!!

      Syaz use the heart punch if you have it as the only advantage of the pear shape is the base effect you get to make the central conical bud.

The white flowers were made using a daisy punch-- have pics for its tutorial shall post them soon. I frankly dont remember where I bought it from I think it is from blogger friend Jovita when I went to Mumbai.Punches are more expensive in Bangalore compared to Mumbai.

    Wow Dr. Sonia I love your flowers and the tutorial is great I saved it to watch as I do my flowers. I just have to find something close to that shape to cut out to use. Time to consult the cricut and see if there is a shape that is close to that on any cartridge. Thanks for the inspiration. Your cards and recycling are wonderful.

    OMG!!! Doctor u r so talented and ur tutorials all great.... Im new to paper craft and like to do quilling flower after seen ur creations here...
    And im confused about paper, What type of paper i can use for quilling flowers, birds, animals as like you did here...

    Can u please guide me buy a right type of paper to use for quilling...??
    I searched over net abt this but they are saying, we can use normal color paper or cardstock but i don't think card stock will work on this.. and i don't wanna buy pre-made quilling strips cox i have paper shedder so wanna make own strips..
    what type of paper u r using for ur quilling projects??

      Thank You so much Angel. I didnt have a paper shredder till recently so used to handcut my strips from whatever paper I had on hand[I recycle a lot of magazines in quilling!] and sometimes used store bought strips. I dont like cardstock for quilling as I felt it was too thick.You can experiment with different papers which you have on hand and go with what you personally like as there is no hard and fast rule. I have worked with all kinds of thickness but generally I dont like the thin paper other than for tight coils and dont like the thick card stock variety.Hope its of help
