Detail Cutting the Petals: Crepe Paper Wedding Roses 2

Crepe paper tea roses for a wedding bouquet, or just tea roses in a romantic arrangement for yourself, are a snap with this method. We'll use one strip as a foundation for all the petals! And I've got special hacks that create bulk in the rose so that it has a gorgeous shape. This tutorial demonstrates how to detail the petals on the strip. You'll learn how to create notches, pouts, slits, and splits -- so that the petals hold their shapes as they do in nature. Cuts in the rose petals really enhance the shaping you'll do in the next video. Once you understand the technique, you'll be able to make a fantastic rose in under an hour (well, you'll need a bit of time to add foliage). Use any heavyweight or double-sided crepe paper. I'll give the dimensions in Video 1 in this playlist. The example rose is made from doublette paper by Werola, which you can buy from www.petalsandpearlsdesign.com or from Lia Griffith's Double-Sided line. I'll also show roses made with Cartotecnica Rossi heavyweight crepe. In the US, a great source for this paper is www.cartefini.com. Keep in touch! I'd love to hear what you think of the technique! #crepepaperflowers #diybouquet #dyecrepepaper #antiquepink #flowers #roses #ombre #heavyweightcrepe #diyweddingbouquet #tutorial #roses #weddingbouquet #striproses #crepepaperflowertechnique #ombre #tearoses #mondialrose #sahararose #romanticvibes #romantic #diy
