How to Make a Paper Rose from Book Pages | DIY Recycling Project | Home Decor or Wedding Bouquet

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to make a beautiful realistic rose, complete with leaves and sepals, using the pages of an old book and other basic tools and materials.
The rose has a wire stem, so you can position it how you like, and one on its own looks lovely in a bud vase. You could of course make a whole bouquet, which would be fantastic as a Valentine's day/mother's day gift, or a wedding bouquet....especially if it's made out of your favourite book!

Please can you recommend paper thickness to use, I am going to try this with the song lyrics.

[@RokoleeDIY]

Hi! Any normal copier paper weight would work, which I believe is between 80 gsm and 120 gsm. Thanks for watching :)

[@RokoleeDIY]

Thank you 🙂

[@NoelaOllenburg]

Michelle, possibly my reply to late now. Answer was too simple for me. If you are to photocopy a music book, in Australia photocopy general paper 80gsm. Myself I would do some tests with 90gsm. 100gsm and 120gsm, scrapbooking type white paper. In a matt shine like photocopy paper, not a shiny ot gloss, same thing. If you are using a music book, not copying, feel the paper in your fingers, does it feel "thicker" than 80gsm coper paper, then you are good to go. Have mega fun, aussie girl Noela 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

can we use something else instead of wire

[@narasimhamurthy7473]

if we can what can we use

[@RokoleeDIY]

I can't really think of anything besides wire that is thin, flexible and yet holds its shape. If you don't need the flower to be flexible, you could use thin wooden dowel or something like that? :)
