Paper Roses

We made these paper roses for our teacher appreciation day at school this year, but these cuties could be made and given to friends or family you may be visiting this summer. They are cute by themselves or in a bouquet. We put these in a little baby food jar for a few days, and really enjoyed them!!

You will need:

~Square paper (your choice of color) the size of square paper determines the size of the rose. we used about an 8x8 size then rounded the corners...

(We used magazine pages in shades of red, pink, and orange, I really like how they turned out using something recycled!)

~Popcicle sticks

~Glue (craft glue or hot glue)

I found this simple tutorial which will show you how beautiful these can get, and teach you the steps.

To personalize your rose, you can write a short sweet note on the front (or back) of the popcicle stick. Or add a little strip of magnet to the back. Its sure to bring a smile to someones face!
