Paper roses using 5 petal punch

Remembered from a demo at craft show
Step 1: punch 3 flowers and cut as shown in diagram. First flower is slit from petal edge to centre, second has 1 petal cut away again from centre point, third has 2 petals cut away
Step 2: place glue on each point as indicated by yellow dot
Step 3: roll flower so edge petals over lap and glue together
Step 4: using a cocktail stick roll the single petal into a cone shape, then roll the 2 petal shape around this and glue together. shape this by pinching the cone halfway up and spreading petals to form a centre bud for your rose
Step 5: the flowers that you made in step 3, now dry start curving the petals to shape your flower
Step 6: stack your flowers together with glue, to add the bud into the centre first cut off any excess paper from base of cone shape.
Step 7: once all is dry continue to shape into desired rose, this can then be inked or sprayed
