Whether you're planning a special celebration or want to add a festive touch to your home, DIY paper rosettes are the perfect choice.
In this step-by-step tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating these eye-catching decorations with ease.
Craft Supplies:
- Patterned Paper
- ScoreBoard
- Circle Punch
- Hot Glue Gun
- Embellishments (Buttons, Ribbons, Jewels)
Choose Your Paper:
To begin, select the type of paper you'll need to make your rosettes.
You can use rolls of wrapping paper, cardstock, vellum, construction paper, or my favorite, patterned scrapbook paper.
I love decorative paper because there are just so many fun patterns out there.
My rosettes have a 70's retro vibe to them, and I absolutely love the pattern.
Paper Rosette Sizes:
You can make any size of paper rosette. It all depends on the height of the pieces of paper.
If you want a 24-inch rosette use 12-inch tall strips of paper.
For a 12-inch rosette, use 6-inch tall strips of paper.
As for the length of each strip, it takes a little bit of trial and error. Here is what I used for my strips.
12-inch Large Rosette: 4 strips of paper that measure 6 x 12.
10-inch Medium Rosette: 4 strips of paper that measure 5 x 12.
8-inch Small Rosette - 3 strips of paper that measure 4 x 12.
How to Make a Paper Rosette:
No matter the size, all paper rosettes are made the same way.
Paper punch a 2-inch circle out of a coordinating color of paper.
Lay each strip of paper in the Score Board lengthwise and score every ½-inch.
Then fold the paper accordion-style on the scored lines.
Repeat for each section.
When all of the lengths are scored and folded, glue the ends together so you have a large circle.
Push down on the top, forcing the inner part of the paper close together.
Place the rosette on top of the paper circle so you can see it through the center hole.
Apply a good glob of hot glue to the center of the rosette, and then push the sides together till the center how is as small as possible.
Hold the shape of the rosette until the glue holds when you let go.
Add a little bit more hot glue into the center to hold it nice and tight.
Cut another circle out of a coordinating color of paper and hot glue it over the middle of the rosette to cover that center hole.
This circle can be any size because now you can begin adding embellishments to the rosette.
Top it off with a little strip of ribbon, button, or other embellishments.
Here are all 3 of my finished rosettes laying on the floor. I love how the colors coordinate with each other!
Hang them with fishing line, or adhere them to the wall with some folded-over masking tape on the back of the rosette.
Include different sizes of rosettes and you have a beautiful backdrop for weddings, a baby shower, or birthdays.
