After making earrings from book pages I decided to look at making a few other things out of them. I had a whole book full of pages after all. Firstly a used them as wrapping paper and then I saw a few tutorials on pinterest for paper roses and made a whole bouquet full!
The original tutorial I used is here!
However I adapted it adding the odd extra petal within the rings of petals where they looked like they needed one and starting from the middle of the flower threading them onto a wooden skewer rather than going from the outside in. I also varied the way a curled the petals giving them flowers a more random pattern. My bouquet has a variety of rose sizes in as I tried to see if I could make them small enough for a pair of earrings. I haven't managed it yet but I might try now I have got better and refined how to make them look more rose like.
