no-fuss paper roses
January 30, 2011 § 68 Comments
I promise these are the easiest paper roses you’ll ever make!
The ornamental design of paper doilies is what makes these roses so naturally exquisite. Because the beauty is intrinsic in the material, these paper doily roses require little fuss to look beautiful.
1. Take an 8″ red paper doily and cut a straight line to the center.
2. Roll the doily, making sure the wrong side faces up.
3. Twist the end.
4. You may use floral tape to create a stem, but I used what I found at home — green painter’s tape.
5. Optional: you can cover the stem with ribbon for a more polished look.
There you have it — a paper rose in seconds! These paper doily roses are not only simple to make, they are also very inexpensive. I managed to pick up half a dozen red paper doilies for $1 at the dollar store.
A bouquet of these is certainly a stunning substitute for bows when wrapping gifts, but, with the help of some glue and magnets, I also fancy having a beautiful collection of paper roses on my fridge!
very nice
Thank you. 😀
This is a beautiful idea!
Oooh, those are just gorgeous! And beautiful pictures, too. Great tutorial, thanks!
Thanks for stopping by, Michelle!
Wonderful, like all of your posts, Jeromina! I love getting your email updates. Every one is original and beautiful. Thank you!! Allison
Thanks, Allison! It makes me happy to know you’re enjoying the posts. 😀
These are gorgeous – I will have to buy some doilies now!
Let me know how it goes, Juliet.
These are so cute! Were the doilies supposed to be double sided?
Oh wow! What a clever idea. Totally going to have to test this out. ♥
Happy to hear you are going to make this craft. 😀 Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Chrissy,
Michaels has a bunch of colored doilies in their $1 bins. Thanks for reading!
Very sweet! I am a teacher, and this looks a perfect Valentine craft to make with my students: easy, inexpensive, yet lovely. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks, Haley. 😀
this is so lovely and we have lots of doilies left over from our wedding dinner table decor…I’m going to go fish them out right now and make some gorgeous roses to fill my crystal bowl…thank you!!
Hi Diane,
Oooh, that’s a great idea to fill the crystal bowl. 😀 Thanks for stopping by.
I didn’t have red doilies, so I made white roses instead..and used a bit of fine glitter..Thanks for the tut.. Sylvia J
Great idea about the glitter, Sylvia!
This is a neat idea, using the paper doilie. I liked Slyvia’s idea of using the fine glitter on the edges.
Hi Peggy,
Yes, I agree about the glitter! Thanks for peeking in!
These are so cute. I am going to have our 6th grade class make 2, 1 for their moms and 1 for their teacher. At the end of class they will all take theirs up to the teacher and put it into a vase I will have ready. I think she will be surprised! Thanks so much!
Hi Becky,
That is so sweet that you are going to have the kids make these for their teacher and mom! What a wonderful gesture for Valentine’s! 🙂

These are beautiful! We’re trying to make them for a mother’s day gift but we’re having trouble with the shape – it ends up looking like a regular cone and not so much a flower… any suggestions? ideas?
Thank you!
