I don't have quilling tools so I used a set of tweezers, worked great!! Thanks for the great tutorial!! Made a gorgeous spring wreath from these flowers :)

[@DIYAlex]

Tweezers work great too! You’re welcome!

Finally tried my hand at rolled flowers. I find it very relaxing! I need to work on my hot glue skills. LOL Glue everywhere!

[@DIYAlex]

I still get hot glue everywhere!

[@marleee.2174]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I never had much interest in purchasing a Cricut machine but someone showed me some of the paper roses that were made for a wedding and now I want one!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! It’s so addictive! I’m obviously biased, but I love having a Cricut!

[@bholohan48]

A Bobby pin in a cordless drill also works great

Very beautiful. You are really talented. I am going to try to make this for mothers day. Just lost my job and short on cash. So i am looking for creative ideas for gifts.

[@DIYAlex]

Aw thank you! Yes this would be a great cost effective Mother’s Day gift! You can attach rolled flowers to a canvas, wood sign, or shadow box. You can also add stems on the flowers and create a bouquet that she can keep forever! I have a video on that as well.

@@DIYAlex Thank you!

[@joan5278]

how do you get your petals so smooth? Mine end up being bent no matter how tight I do/don't make it

[@DIYAlex]

Are you using a quiling tool when you fold the paper? That helps with keeping them smooth a lot.

[@lisabell2131]

Where can I get a quilling pen like yours and is it a certain size where you roll the paper.????

[@DIYAlex]

I got mine from Amazon. It’s linked in the description.

[@powered77]

THANK YOU!!! I have watched numerous rolled flowers tutorials (some by big names) and no one has shown the petal rolling technique! This will definitely improve my paper flowers! One question though - WHAT cruise line hosts the Crazy Crafter's Cruise?? I would love to go on the next one!!

[@DIYAlex]

You're welcome! Pretty cool huh? It makes a huge difference! It was organized by a travel agent rather than the Cruise line. It was really fun!

[@phoenix_1368]

This helped so Much thx

[@moonlightdiy7962]

that turns out so beautifully!

[@DIYAlex]

Thank you! I love the end result!

[@mimigee4387]

What setting do use to cut it!

[@DIYAlex]

It depends on the cardstock. For 65lb use the light cardstock setting, but for 80lb use medium cardstock setting.

[@staceyshaw1526]

You say the width is 8.5 inches? What is the height? I mean as in size for the cut on the cricut. When I put 8.5 inches wide it puts the height to 11.39 is that right? Thanks!

I honestly don’t remember! I’m sorry! It should be more circular than that, but I don’t remember the exact dimensions.

Hello! I was wondering which png file did you use? I downloaded the one in your description box and picked the closest one, but it didn’t come out like this style. So is the template you used from a different bundle? Thank you for this tutorial 😇 This is my first attempt to paper flowers and the one I did is cute but not as full as the one in the video.

[@DIYAlex]

It’s the orange one at the bottom of the photo. I don’t remember which file it was from the bundle. Sorry about that!

[@chevonpowell1252]

Make it as big as you can for the paper you have.

[@kimmyg5852]

Hello! I just purchased a cricut and was wondering what blade did you use? The regular fine point blade or the deep point blade for card stock?

Hey Kimmy! For 65lb cardstock like I"m using in this video, you can just use your regular Fine Point Blade.

[@hillarygrossman1273]

What size was this flower?

[@brittanyhebeda5344]

Very pretty! I really want to try. But what do you cut on your cricut? How do you get that shape to print?

Search for rolled paper flowers in Design Space, or upload the SVG I linked in the description. It looks like a spiral shape. Then you cut it on your Cricut. You might want to watch this tutorial on using Design Space: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoaxZ5-dor2EpM0

Dis is paper flowers I suppose. Very nice. But then I have a computerized embroidery machine. How can I make flowers on dis machine for any designer tops. Pls update a video

[@DIYAlex]

I’ve never worked with an embroidery machine so I don’t know. Sorry about that!

[@mayabentkowski409]

Hello darling I would like to know what kind of paper should I use for the shadow box frame and what size should I cut the flower for a 20*20 shadow box thank you ❤️

[@DIYAlex]

Use the backing to measure the size of paper you’ll need. The size of the flowers is personal preference ☺️

[@lindseycarpenter86]

Rolled flowers are 25% the size from when they are cut, so a 4" cut will equal a 1" rolled flower. You would need 400 1" flowers if you lay them in a 20x20 grid. If you used 2" rolled flowers, you would need 100 in a 10x10 grid

[@DIYAlex]

That’s a great rule of thumb! Thanks!

amazing! I want to make this for a shadow box I am planning for my mom's birthday. however I do not have a quelling tool, do you have any suggestions as to what else I can use?

[@DIYAlex]

You can use Cricut’s reverse tweezers since they can hold the paper without you having to pinch it the entire time.

[@tinak.3022]

A Bobby pin works too. Not as well as a quilling tool though.

[@DIYAlex]

Ooh that’s a great idea! Great tip!

[@amandaheider4289]

ok where did you get the file to cut the shape?

[@amandaheider4289]

never mind i found the link thanks

[@deliaguzman3361]

Is there an easy way to do this without a circut machine?

[@DIYAlex]

Yes, you would just hand trace and cut out the stencil.

[@lavitchiclay6935]

Why do I have to pay for the file on design space when I have Cricut access?

[@DIYAlex]

That should only be happening with licensed images if you have an active Cricut Access subscription. Otherwise contact Cricut Customer Service.

what is the template in circut?

[@DIYAlex]

Search for rolled paper flowers in Cricut’s images.

[@bflybroadcasts6357]

Using the 8 in template to cut and after you were done, about what size was the completed flower?

[@DIYAlex]

I would say it was between 2-3 inches. You can adjust how tightly it’s rolled before gluing to make it a desired size ☺️

[@bflybroadcasts6357]

DIY Alex thank you!!!!! I think that’s exactly what I need! I cut one 5.5 and it was too small!

[@rolandorodriguez8778]

Have you ever used construction paper or colored paper to make your flowers? Cardstock can be so expensive in some places. Great video.

[@DIYAlex]

I haven't used construction paper. I think it would rip easily, so I prefer cardstock. I buy my 65lb cardstock at Michael's or on Amazon and I think the prices are pretty reasonable!

[@drealeeanne8567]

How long does it take you to make one flower with rolled edges?

To actually roll and glue it, I guess it takes around 5 minutes per flower depending on the size of it.
