Since I have made a few different paper roses over the years, I decided for this month's Member Make that we should craft something by one of the great rosarians of the world. And yes, I'm talking about the renowned David Austin! Starting in the 1950s, David Austin made it his life mission to create a more beautiful rose—with the characteristics of an old garden rose (also known as an heirloom rose). He spent 60 years breeding roses that are now famous across the world. And it was just last December that he passed away.
So in honor of David Austin and National Rose Month, we will be making these crepe paper heirloom roses today. There are many types of David Austin roses, and this one is called the Scarborough Fair rose. It is known for its perfectly cupped pink petals and golden yellow stamens. Aren't they so gorgeous?

Leave a CommentLia, these are beautiful. I can’t wait to make them. However it would be extremely helpful if your team could add captions to the above video and/or written instructions, especially for those who are hearing impaired.
That is a very good point, Libby. We have been talking about it and I think it is time to make it happen.
Where could I find the video on how to make these? Thank you!
The video is here in the post. Are you not able to see it here?
Sorry, I must’ve overlooked it, but I see it now. Not sure how I could’ve overlooked it considering it’s close to the top of the page and I scrolled through a million times. lol
No worries! We are here for you! 🙂
Italian subtitles please! :))
That is in our plans!
Hi Lia, what mm’s are the large and medium spun balls did you use for the bud’s?
They are 20 and 30mm. I just updated the listing on the side there. 🙂
Where can I find written instructions for this? Thanks!
This project has the video for the instructions.
Hi Lia,
I bought a Cricut because my fine motor skills are limited. Could I find an SVG of rose leaves somewhere that already have the little triangle shaped cut outs and not straight lines? Thank you!
Hello Marisa! This version of the rose leaf has the details you are looking for. https://liagriffith.com/crepe-paper-roses-workshop/
Hi, I’m new to Cricut and paper crafting, but had a go at this beautiful rose. When I hit “make it”, the Cricut placed the Petal 4 shapes sideways on the mat, so the grain was running the wrong way (being a newbie I didn’t realize his until waaaaay too late!). Have others had this issue? Also I don’t think it cut all the sepal shapes I’d need to make a bud (just five for the main rose. It cut three ovals for the bud petals but no green shapes). Wasn’t sure if I missed a step or an instruction? Thank you!
Hi Sophie! This is an issue that Cricut has, so we made a full video on how to work with the SVGs. You can watch it here: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/cutting-machines-for-crepe-paper/ Here is another video that might help as well: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/how-to-use-files-cricut/
One of my favorite flowers! I did the leaves with the double sided crepe , flipping one side for the double color leaf. Did the petals with the double sided pink/cream. Also used extra fine crepe with watercolor and sprayed with acryclic gloss. I loved the parchment feel (learned from your football mums. I thickened the stem by inserting into tubing covered with crepe paper. This flower looks great with any application (reasonable!). Great pattern, great instructions…. thank you!
That sounds gorgeous! Share photo on the member Facebook page if you have not already!
Do you have a link for the thick paper stem wire on amazon? Im from the UK and struggling to find it
See if this works! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Homework2-Green-Floral-Stem-Gauge/dp/B0722Z2LP6
So excited to make these but apparently not set up for Cricut Maker. Says svg image is too large. I’m a newbie and don’t know much about Criicut! Thank you.

Hi Linda! Can you email us at hello@liagriffith.com with a screenshot of what you’re seeing? But first you may want to check out a few of our posts to give you some helpful tips! https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/how-to-use-files-cricut/ and https://liagriffith.com/how-to-use-svg-files-for-cricut/.
These are gorgeous.
Is there a substitute for the cotton spun paper balls? They are not available where I live…
Thanks,
Aviva
Hi Aviva,
You can use foam balls or wooden beads for the center instead. 🙂
I’d like to add my name to the list of folks that are asking you to carry the thick flower stem wires. i can’t seem to find them anywhere without a very long delivery time.
thank you!
We’re definitely working on it, and trying to find a different source at least for now!
Heli Lia I live this rose. I will try it TODAY. Can You și for july gladiolus? Plecase.
Yay! We will add the gladiola to our wish list 🙂
I do not understand how I can ask questions on the videos?
Hi Kim– I believe you have to be logged into YouTube, and you’ll be able to leave a comment at the bottom. You’re always welcome to email questions to hello@liagriffith.com.
Wunderschön. Ich habe sie gleich gebastelt.
Wonderful!
