These little paper roses are easy crafts for kids that look lovely gathered into a small bouquet.

Supplies

• White paper or colored paper
• Printer
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Skewers or thin craft sticks
• Small vase, jar, or paper cone for displaying the bouquet

Instructions

1. Print the rose spiral template in the correct size.
2. Carefully cut out each spiral along the printed lines. Smooth cutting helps the flowers curl neatly.
3. Starting at the outside end of one spiral, wrap the paper around a skewer or thin stick. Roll it tightly at first, then slightly loosen it for a fuller rose shape.
4. Slide the rolled flower off the skewer carefully.
5. Add a small dab of glue to the outer end of the spiral and press it gently into place to hold the rose together.
6. Repeat with more spirals until you have enough mini roses for a bouquet.
7. Arrange the finished roses in a small vase or gather them into a paper cone for a pretty handmade gift.
