VIDEO: Frosted Paper Ecuadorian Roses
Elegant Ecuadorian Roses
Ecuadorian roses are known for their larger buds and blooms as well as the wide variety of colors they come in. They also last longer than your typical rose. In this case, our Ecuadorian roses are made out of paper, so they can last forever if you want them to! If you want to learn how to craft these beauties for your paper flower bouquet or centerpiece, watch my quick video tutorial below.

Goodies You Can't Google
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!
Become a MemberI went with an off-white, pearly color for my frosted paper Ecuadorian roses. Using frosted paper also gives these flowers some shine. Between the color and the type of paper, these flowers will look really elegant on their own or as part of an arrangement.
However, one of the fun things about crafting is that you can play around with a DIY idea and make it your own! These roses come in so many different colors and color combinations. So really there are endless possibilities for what your rose could look like.
Just gather the tools and materials below. Then download the SVG file if you have a cutting machine. Or download the PDF template if you’re cutting your roses by hand.
Once you have everything ready to go, watch my video tutorial below to see how I put everything together. If you make these roses, I would love to see your version! Make sure to post them on Instagram and use the hashtag #MadeWithLia (or tag me) so I can see them. Happy crafting! ~Lia and team

Hi Lia! SUPER wonderful site you have. I am SO inspired. Thank you so much for your contribution to the world of art; you are truly amazing!I have a question for you. I work with sulfite heavy weight paper regularly. Do you recommend any type of spray-on shine to give the same iridescence as the frosted paper? Thanks a bunch! CJ
Hi Christopher,
We have used the Design Master Tint It spray in Gold Shimmer which gives the paper a nice subtle shimmer similar to the frosted paper! 🙂
Are there any written instructions for this flower?
Hi Ana,
Sorry, we do not provide written instructions for projects with video tutorials.
HI Lia,
Thank you so much for these classes. I am a professional cake decorator and I like incorporating paper flowers into some of my cake presentations
I have a bride who is in love with the shape of these roses but she does not like the shinny finish of the frosted sheets. Can you recommend any other paper type that I can use and get a similar finish? I am aware that you do a wide range of paper finishes and I probably have all of them as I have been on a shopping spree.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Elaine! You can certainly use regular text weight paper without a metallic finish (we love to order from Paper Source, or PaperPapers.com, just search under their Matte finish text weight).
Is there any way to watch this in normal speed? I’m having difficulty following it. I also get motion sick really easily and watching this intently to try and catch the folds and glues doesn’t sit well with me. =(
Thanks.
Hi Dawn! You can slow down the speed in YouTube if you’d like. Click the gear icon on the bottom right of the video, then select Speed and choose the option you prefer 🙂
Didn’t know I could do that on YouTube! Thanks so much! <3

SVG isn’t downloading…please advise how to fix
Hi, can you email hello@liagriffith.com with screenshots and more details about the exact problem you’re having so we can help? Thanks!
Could use please check the SVG. I’m only getting leaves, no petals.
The SVG looks fine on my end– did you upload to Design Space? The petals are light pink so it may just look like they’re missing.
