Book Page Paper Rose Video Workshop
Books in bloom
There’s nothing like kicking off a crafty new year with a beloved classic—and this Book Page Paper Rose does exactly that. A longtime favorite from my early design days, this newly updated version brings fresh life to a project I first created over 14 years ago! This new design simplifies the process, making it easier than ever to create this stunning paper flower, and we can’t wait to make it right along with you!

During our live video workshop, we’ll guide you through creating this Book Page Paper Rose step by step. While the design is a cherished throwback, we’ve made a few tweaks to make it accessible for all makers. Our interactive workshop is the perfect way to get into the swing of the new year, craft alongside our community, and enjoy a project that speaks to both the heart and the mind.
This Book Page Paper Rose is a little love letter to all our crafty bookworms—we know you're going to love this project! You can craft it from recycled book pages as a way to repurpose something already well-loved, or use lightweight printer paper and the included printable design for a softer, more refined finish. As a special touch, the printable features text from Emily’s favorite passage of Pride and Prejudice, adding a quiet layer of romance that feels especially sweet as Valentine’s Day approaches.
Ultimately, this project strikes a beautiful balance between elegant and approachable. It’s creative without being complicated, sentimental without being fussy—and exactly the kind of craft to keep your creativity warm while the world outside is still dark and cold.
When your Bookpage Paper Rose is complete, there are so many lovely ways to share it. Display your finished flower on its own, tuck it into a bouquet, or gift it to someone who loves handmade details and classic literature. But however you choose to gift it or style it—don’t forget to tag us using #MadeWithLia. Happy crafting, and we’ll see you soon!

Leave a CommentThis was the first paper flower I ever made which lead me to paper craft and to the marvels of crepe paper
I love that!! Thanks for sharing, Sue. 🙂
Thank you.
You are so welcome!
So sweet! Perfect timing – having our holiday lunch (always late) with a good friend next week. Have a book for him so this will be a gift topper that I just made. 2 roses – one at 75%
So different and lovely. Thank you!
Share photos!
When I opened the new monthly collection this flower did not catch my eye. But after watching the video my mind has changed. It is a lovely flower and idea. Thanks for all the tips and sharing your time and talent with us. I definitely will be making multiples of this flower for friends and my self.
Right! A “grey” flower is not an eye catcher in a small photo. lol. I am so happy that you enjoyed this project. 🙂
Lia, I can’t find the svg in thew unzipped files. I see 3 pdf files and 1 html file. What am I doing wrong??
It should be there, but I did update the folder with the new print. Let me know if you are not seeing it with this new version.
How many back to back copies do I need to print?
Just one per rose. 🙂
Thank you!
While I was a high school librarian, I loved to decorate with books. This is a step up from what I did. I also had a yearly book art contest for students. They created some wonderful art.
I love that! 🙂 Books are a fun theme and craft medium.
Will ordinary printer paper work for this rose? I’m so in love with the fact that the words are from Pride and Prejudice!
Yes! You can use a small desktop printer for sure. Hope to see you there!
Hi,
I can’t find a replay of the video. Will it be uploaded ?
Greetings from Belgium
Hello! We will be filming this project next Friday, the 9th of January. Hope to see you there!
My mistake, I got the date wrong.
Hope to see you there!
Very pretty
Thank you!
So wonderfull. I forgot that way to make a beautiful rose.
Thank you !
Greetings from Germany and a Happy New Year 💚
You are welcome!
I am unable to download zip files. Can you offer your downloads in a different way?
Hi Nina! Look in your computer’s downloads folder. The zipped folder should be there unless you have a download blocker on your computer.
I love this! Reminds me of some early flowers I made from scrapbook paper that had printed text as the pattern. Unfortunately, I can’t see the printable text in the download. The PDF and SVG files only contain a cream-colored rose cutout design with no text.
You are right! Missed that part, but it should be in the download folder now. 🙂
Happy New Year!
Thanks so much! Happy new year!!
Happy New Year to you, too!
