A simple and artful way to add a personal touch to a gift or a wedding favor is with a handmade paper rose. I made this one from an old dictionary page (the “love” section of course) by using the template I have linked below. Simply print the template on card stock, trim and trace around shapes onto your selected paper, then follow the same paper rose directions from Friday’s post. Get creative with the paper. . . love notes, sheet music, prints of your favorite poetry. . . As a final touch to your gift, Jennie designed these Valentine-inspired vintage gift tags that we have included for you on this rose template. Happy day! Lia

Hi,
I’ve just got to say ‘well done’ your creations are very elegant and beautiful. I wondering do you also supply these for sale, I think they absolutely lovely and would surely recommend to my brides.
My creations are ‘Sugarcrafted’ (edible) for Cakes and such decors and I can certainly infuse these ideas you present into such presentations.
Great Job!!!!

Hello Chef Abigale. Thanks so much for your lovely words. Unfortunately, we are not set up to sell these flowers, but instead offer them as a DIY. If we ever do, I will let you know. Your creations look lovely and tasty! Cheers, Lia
Simply stunning! I love it! Wow! Who would have thought of making this rose out of this -newspaper type paper. I love your work!
Thanks Giselle!
Unbelievably beautiful! Thank you for sharing this wonderful craft!
Thanks Kandri!
Sigh. You are clearly wonderful in every way.
I have been scrolling through several project each inspiring and tugging me to stop browsing and start creating but the lure of the next tutorial is so powerful. You bewitching woman! I am amazed. And off to my craft desk. (after I book mark you of course.)
Oh my! You just made me laugh. I am actually dressing up as a witch for Halloween and will be sharing photos on the blog. So loved the comment! I am so happy to hear you are inspired by the blog. . . as that is my intention. ;-)
I saw you on the latenight news making a large flower to go on a Christmas gift. Could you please give me more detail on how to do it? It was very beautiful. Thank you!
I will be posting that tutorial today!! Stay tuned!
Lia, your designs are so beuatiful! can you tell me if you know a way to spray something on these to help them not to fray and to be able to keep them as keepsakes? would love your input! Cathy B operationblessingbrigade at gmail dot com
Hi Cathy, I did not spray anything on my roses. I have paper roses that are over two years old now and still look great. They seem to hold well and I live in a wet city.
I love how you’ve made these flowers with text paper – they look amazing! Will have to give that a try. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with the world. I’ve just discovered your blog and will most certainly be back! :)
