I am loving working with crepe paper to make new flower designs. The crepe stretches to form petal shapes and ruffled edges giving the paper flowers a luxe finish. It has been several years since I designed the rose pattern for the printed and metallic paper version that are quite easy to make and so popular for DIY weddings. I knew that it was time to design a crepe paper rose, and it was during my morning walk with Enzo (my dog) that I decided today’s flower needed to be the full bloom garden variety I was seeing in my neighborhood yards. You can try this pattern with any variety or color of crepe and it will no doubt be beautiful. Order a roll or two of crepe paper and make this gorgeous crepe paper rose bloom with me. Below you will find the step by step tutorial and the printable pattern for this luscious garden rose. Enjoy! ~ Lia

  Hi Linda! Thank you, so sweet of you to say. This is an older pattern so I’d highly recommend one of these using double-sided crepe! https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-ruby-rose-video-tutorial/ or https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-rose-buds/

  Hi Kari! The rose demonstrated was using the Fiskars template, but these are pretty close! https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-garden-roses/, https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-rose-buds/

Hello Lia, where can i buy crepe papers online?

  @Aceline
  
  Hi! My line will be available in July but for now, PaperMart.com sells rolls in a variety of colors. We’re pretty sure their crepe is made in China, so the quality is very different than our German-made brand. But it would be good to practice with! ?

Love this!! How many flowers can you make with one roll each (1 salmon, 1 sage, 1 green leaf)? Thank you!

  @Joan
  
  The rolls are pretty large, so you will be able to make a bunch of flowers!

Hi Lia,
I really loved your flowers and would love to make it. However italian crepe paper is not available in India . Will it work out with the normal crepe paper.
Thanks a ton,
Veena

  Yes, it would work with normal crepe paper:-)

i really loved this but the problem is that we do not get flower wire in india could you suggest any other wire

  @priya
  
  Hello Priya, I would try regular thin wire and wrap it with brown floral tape or brown ribbon.

This bring back memories from my childhood (and we won’t discuss how long ago that’s been!). I used to spend a week every summer with my great-aunt, and we made all kinds of crafty things, including these crepe paper roses. I love your ombre version and I know should would too. Time to make a bouquet and savor the memories. Thanks, Lisa.

Hi Lia,

Gorgeous! Do you think I could make these with dyed coffee filters?

Reply
1. Lia June 3, 2014 at 1:04pm
  
  @Liz
  
  That would be a different pattern. Since this once stretches and coffee filters don’t you would have a different look. I am sure it would be a pretty flower though.
