Why Choosing Crepe Paper is Mandatory for Making a Small Rose with Twisting Method

As a DIY Blogger, I always recommend beginners to use Crepe Paper for making roses. It is friendly to use and convenient. I’d like to talk a little more about it.

Crepe paper is actually a tissue paper; the difference is due to the manufacturing process. In reality crepe paper is creased tissue paper. And it is this crease that gives this paper a wonderful stretching property.

All thanks to this property, we can stretch it and can make charming flowers. This single quality of stretching makes crepe paper easy to use and imparts roses a natural look.

Hence, always go for crepe paper when it comes to making DIY roses at home.

The Secrets Of Making Perfect Paper Rose

Here in the following points, I am sharing with you some secrets of making your rose perfect and beautiful.

Do Not Hold Rose Too Tightly While Rolling

Hold the rose loosely hand while rolling, because it will give a nice natural look to your rose.

Make Twist Carefully

While making twists to your rose, twist it gently otherwise your paper will be spoiled.

While Cutting Paper See The Creases Carefully

During the process of preparing cut-outs, see the creases of the paper carefully. For example whether the crease should be horizontal or vertical for a particular cut-out. So be careful.

Roll In Outward Direction

I tried these beautiful roses many times and also did some experiments on it. So if you roll it inward direction then, it will not look so natural. So, make sure you roll it outward.

Tightly Wrap The Thread

When you attach the stem to your rose, wrap the thread tightly around it. Because it will tuck the rose nicely to the stem.
