Here is my tutorial on how I made my Paper Rose Wreath. One tip when you are gluing your roses onto the foam wreath is to squeeze the hot glue onto the flower rather than the foam itself as it will melt. I would love to see your creations so do share them with us on our Facebook page! ~Lia

Beautiful! How do u make those beautiful roses? <3
Here is the link for the roses: http://www.ellinee.com/freebie-friday-diy-paper-rose-templates/
What size wreath do you use? Thanks :)
Yes. My mistake for not adding that in the directions. :-) I used an 11 inch wreath form I bought at Michaels.
This is so charming. I am going to make one or two for some friends and one for my neice-to-be. What size wreath form did you use?
I used an 11 inch wreath form I bought at Michaels. Have fun and show us your finished wreaths on our FB.
Absolutely gorgeous. And as slow as I am in reading instructions I was able to create one that looks as beautiful as yours. On my way to Michaels to get the needed itms to make the whole wreath.
Yeah! I am so happy to hear that the instructions make is fairly easy!
what is the purpose of the backer paper? will the roses not glue to the foam wreath?
Just to finish it off. You don’t have to use it, but I wanted to cover all the foam for my demo.
I’ve never heard of backer paper, what type of paper is it? Where do I get it? Thanks
I guess I should have said “paper to back your wreath”. It really can be any paper. My purpose was simply to cover the foam from all sides.
I made the roses yesterday, they sure turned out to be beautiful. Thanks for the info about the backing.
I can’t wait to see! Make sure you post a photo on our Facebook page when you finish.
I’m surprising my mom with one for her birthday. I just know she’ll be blown away! It’s so amazingly perfect for her style and taste, she’s just about impossible to buy for. How big is the finished product? I have to mail it.
Ours is approx. 18 inches wide and 4 inches high. You will have to update us and tell us how she loved it.
Do you add leaves to all of the roses when making the roses or just on the outside of the wreath once you glue the roses on?
There is a 3 leaf shape that I glues to the actual rose. It is the last piece on the rose tutorial. The single leaves are what I used to finish the wreath once I had all the roses in place. They were perfect for covering any spots where the foam might show through.
OMG! i got out of school on the 6th and all i wanted to do was be productive… i found this amazing progect on my stumble upon! i have made 31 roses but i just cant decide how to arange them. A neat trick that i found was if you use scrapbooking papper and print the white rose template on it you can have any pattern you want. I am now doing one for my baby cousin to hang on her door. Its sooooo cute.
What size wreath do you use? sorry i just thought of that.
I love the paper – where did you buy it?
