Total Time: 25 minutes
Step 1: Take the scissors

Step 2: Make folds
Fold the rectangle several times.

Use scissors to round the top edge.
Step 4: Straighten the blank
You should get a sheet of paper similar to the one in the photo.
Step 5: Use your hands
You must gently stretch each semicircular element with your fingers.
Step 6: Make the paper wavy
Make the center of the rose from the resulting blank.
Step 7: Prepare the glue
Twist it by fixing it with hot glue at the bottom.
Step 8: Compare your blank
You should get a similar center as in the example.
Step 9: Make the red rectangles
Cut out a 2×4 cm (0.79 in x 1.58 in) piece of crepe paper to make individual petals for your flower. It should stretch across the width.
Step 10: Round the rectangle
Cut the petal blank from the rectangle.

Gently stretch the upper part of the blank with your fingers.

Step 13: Repeat for the other petals
Make 10 of the same petals.
Step 14: Apply the glue
