For All My Buds
Back in July, I made this crepe paper ruby rose flower for our member make challenge. If you're an annual member, you got to watch me make this flower live on our YouTube channel and craft along with me. Normally, member make challenges are exclusive to our annual members. But this one was so great, I just have to share how I made it with all of you!
You've found a member-exclusive project. But for less than the price of a fancy coffee... You'll get instant access to this and over 2,000 other premium projects inside the Lia Griffith membership!
“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!”Vivian
To make your own crepe paper ruby rose, gather the tools and materials below. For reference, you’ll be able to make two large roses and two rosebuds with one sheet of cherry/raspberry paper. You can use different colors, if you prefer. I just think these colors are gorgeous! Also, they're perfect for making paper roses that look realistic.
Next, download your SVG file if you're using a cutting machine or PDF template if you're cutting this pattern with scissors. Once you have everything ready to go, scroll down to watch our video tutorial for this crepe paper ruby rose.
Instructions
Watch the video below to make your own crepe paper ruby rose flower. Have questions? Just let us know! I also encourage you to share your ruby rose once you've crafted it! Just post it on Instagram and use the hashtag #MadeWithLia so we (along with our crafting community) can see it. Happy crafting!

Hello Gracemarie! This is an oldie! (but a good one too). We have found that adding that tiny detail to the SVG file is particularly challenging for the machine to cut, as it tends to overcut and tatter the edges beyond what is visually pleasing. However, in this video, we demonstrate our newest technique for using the 3mm pinking shears to add the tiny details. Let me know what you think. https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-hybrid-tea-rose/
Hello,
So I’m a new monthly member. Right now my question is; Will I lose access next month to the projects I picked this month? I’m trying to plan for next month, and decide what I’m going to do as a member moving forward.
I would love to become a yearly member, but right now that’s not possible.
Enjoying being here so far.
Hello Ann! No, you will still have access to those projects as long as you have any membership. You can find all of the projects you have chosen in “My Craft Room” in the top right corner. Welcome to our little community!
I’m new at this and I am having trouble making this rose come out right. The center of my rose shows too much, it looks like a big ball in the center of the rose instead of really tightly closed petals yet to open. I assume it is because the petals surrounding the ball are not close enough. How do I make the petals around the ball hug more closely so I cannot see the ball?
Also. . . I am opening up registration for the crepe paper flower master class that will run in September. I think you will really enjoy it! Hope to see you there!
0`I printed the ruby rose templates but they seem too small, not like the ones in your video, is the size i have printed correct or do I have to enlarge them plwase advise. Marie
I have Brother Scan and Cut, when I try to cut the files of your camellia I get the notice “image is too large for mat so will be reduced in size “so then I can not make the camellia as it cuts too small. Do you have a way around this? Thanks for any help Marie
Hi Marie! Unfortunately we don’t know the software that Brother uses so you’ll want to reach out to their customer service for more info. If there’s anything we can do to make the file compatible, please email us at hello@liagriffith.com.
Hi Lia
Not sure what is happening but when I download the SVG for this into DS it is so much smaller than the PDF.
The circle for the centre is only 1.219. Any idea what might be causing this.
Hi Anne, we seem to be experiencing this with a several projects right now! There was an InDesign update recently, so that could be why. Our files are perfectly fine, so hopefully we’ll figure out what the trouble is and can report back soon.

Hi, is it possible to get the measurements of the rose petals? I love this rose and attempted to make it with the 1 inch styrofoam ball as suggested, but there is just no way my petals will fit around it no matter how much I stretch them. I am using the Lia Griffith double sided crepe as recommended, so everything else is okay, but I’m wondering if my pattern is being shrunk when I print it. I did end up making the rose using a centre ball made out of tissue, but the rose was much smaller than the one in the video. If someone could tell me how much the petals should measure (width and height in centimetres if possible), that would be wonderful. Thank you!

Leave a CommentI want to use this pattern for the bud. Is it possible to refine the leaf with the small ridges on the svg pattern?

That being said, if you prefer a version that cuts some details, just not as tiny, here is another version of the leaf. https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-roses-workshop/

Welcome, Ellen! I LOVE the look of this red rose. . . and it is also an older video. Here is a newer video that I think shows an easier way to get the rose center. Check it out and see what you think. https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/double-sided-crepe-blooming-buds-and-roses/
Also. . . I am opening up registration for the crepe paper flower master class that will run in September. I think you will really enjoy it! Hope to see you there!
Hi, I’m curious if the Art Glitter Glue would work for this or should I stick to the low-temp hot glue?
Try the Art Glitter Glue and see what you think.
I don’t see instructions for this flower and the video is no longer available. Do you have instructions for it?
Hi, Laura! I am seeing the video right under the part that says “instructions.” Here is the direct link to where it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDK4z_rxoMI&feature=emb_title
0`I printed the ruby rose templates but they seem too small, not like the ones in your video, is the size i have printed correct or do I have to enlarge them plwase advise. Marie
The template size should be correct if you printed it at 100%. You can send a photo to us at hello@liagriffith.com and we can confirm!

Welcome Sherry!!
Did I miss something? Where does the sepal and bud sepal come in?
I explain the bud/sepal around the 19:10 mark in the video. 35:50 is when the smaller sepals come in.
Can you please tell me the correct cut settings and mat to use for your heavy crepe paper on the cricut maker?
We have a video on tips & tricks for the Maker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91IyqbcFQzk– check the 39 minute mark to see Lia cut heavy crepe using the Denim setting.

The smallest petal (1) is approx 1.25″W x 2″H, and the largest petal (5) is approx 3″W x 2.65″H 🙂
Thank you!
where’s petal number5? Both PDF and SVG have only 4, uncles you count the centre round.
Hi Janice,
The are only 4 petal shapes, she is referring to the amount of each petal when she says 5 🙂
