make the roses!
We received lots of mail yesterday asking for the tutorial of our paper roses so Ladies, grab your latte and follow us to the work table...
We start with a pile of stained coffee filters...we drink instant coffee so we hand stain each filter but you can use the used coffee filters out of your coffee machine...(let them dry and get rid of the coffee first!)
We received lots of mail yesterday asking for the tutorial of our paper roses so Ladies, grab your latte and follow us to the work table...
We start with a pile of stained coffee filters...we drink instant coffee so we hand stain each filter but you can use the used coffee filters out of your coffee machine...(let them dry and get rid of the coffee first!)
Depending on how full you want your rose to be, you can work with one or two filters at the time.Fold it in half:
From one end, start wrapping the paper, not too tight...
all the way to the end...
The side from where you are holding your rose, will look like this:
We wrap an easy to twist wire around the end....
and while we watch some T.V...
we play with each petal, shaping them like the real ones ...
Once we have made a few roses, we form our bouquet.This is a picture of the back...
You can cover the stems with some vintage binding, but we love the contrast between the vintage look of the roses and the silver wire...
Now, if you don't have time to make your own bouquet, you can purchase one HERE.For $12.00 (including shipping) you get a bouquet of 6 large roses and 2 buds.
Our roses are very easy to use in a bouquet or individually...
You'll get enough roses to decorate your chandelier, like we did in our previous post, make a beautiful indoors wreath or finish up a Fall vignette...
Hope you enjoyed our simple tut and will give it a try!
Hugs,
Marcela & Clara

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll be making these with my daughters...but we might color them first with markers. :)
Those look beautiful, but I don't drink coffee. I might have to buy some later. Do they smell like coffee? I like the smell of coffee, it reminds me of my Mamaw and Papaw. Thanks for sharing. I'm having a giveaway today. Stop by if you get a chance and enter to win.
beautiful! thanks for teaching us how to do it!
