Paper Flowers *flash* - any one actually tried to make them?

Here is my first attempt, i used a hot glue gun and it was pretty easy, although its very time consuming per rose

Whoops! i forgot the link

Wow, thats amazing!! Ill check the link out. How much time are we talking here? xxx

Its the cutting and rolling the edges that takes the most time, for the rest of them, i will do it all the rolling in one go and then make up the flowers. Probably 15 mins for my first one HAHA im sure you will get quicker as it goes and itll seen faster if you have one session of cutting, one sessions of rolling and one session of making up x

These look fantastic, definitely need to have a go at these.

Thats a good tip, thanks. I think i'll give this a go once christmas is out of the way. This is the problem with having ages to plan a wedding, you just keep finding more and more stuff to do ha ha x

Hi sorry to grash but just saw this post and thought id mention something. i make these for decoration weddings etc and you can do it a faster way, it looks slighty different, ill try add pic but im doign them this way for my wedding as so easy i can drag mother & bm's into help! Its not single petals you attach but folded paper scrunched as you wrap it around - kinda like icing when making roses on a cake / cupcake ........i make cakes too! lol

Anyway just incase anyones fancys an easier option this a pic....

or these..

the ones above i find people like best and they are by far the easiet. Im using them as table decoration at my wedding. xx

They look good too, how do you make the top ones? is it just one long bit of paper sort of rolled up then?

They are very pretty, I think mummymoo made some in a different style- I think they are in the awards for handmade item so might be worth a look.

Thanks Kjay, take a look xx

Hi yes the tops one I posted are strips of paper slightly oval at top wrapped around d the bottom ones are paper strips folded at middle and wrApped just the same but making sure folded is pointing up. just a bit quicker than I individual petals. I do think the original pic poster but up where you use individual petAls are best though esp for bouquets I've done. but for table decor etc the ones I've shown are easier but just as effective x

Ill have to give them a go and see what they look like, thanks xx
