Creating giant paper roses with a Cricut machine is a great way to add a unique and special touch to any project. From wedding decorations to home decor, these large paper flowers are sure to make an impact! With the right supplies and basic knowledge of how to use your Cricut machine, you can easily put together your own giant paper roses in no time.
To get started, you’ll need some materials. You’ll need several sheets of 12×12 inch cardstock in the color or pattern of your choice.
You will also need some floral wire, green tape or stem wrap, plus scissors and wire cutters. For added detail, you can also use some paint or markers to add some extra color and texture to your giant paper roses.
The first step is to create the petals for your flower. To do this, use a floral pattern from the Cricut Design Space library or create your own custom petal design using the Shape tool.
Once you have selected the design for your petals, cut them out using cardstock and the Cricut machine. Depending on the size of your paper rose, you may need several sets of petals.
Once all of your petals are cut out, you can begin assembling them into a flower shape. Start by overlapping two petals at an angle and securing them together with floral wire or hot glue. Continue adding more petals in this manner until all of them are attached and form a flower shape.
Next, use green tape or stem wrap to cover up any visible wires or adhesive. You can also add additional layers of petals if desired for added fullness.
Finally, paint or draw on details such as dots or lines with markers or paint if desired. Once complete, attach the rose onto its stem by wrapping it tightly around with floral wire.
