I found a rose here, and tutorial...seems searhing the net brings up quite a few locations...there may be others.

Thanks gj1, I tried my attempt at making some with basic shapes and they just turn out flat lol, I havent figured out where to put slits to glue together to make them cup like in the center, just not that talented yet.

I have heard that you dampen the paper and crunch them...1 technique

I have seen where you put them in the palm of your hand and take a rounded end marker like the fine line black markers, and just roll the marker end into the flower in you palm and it makes them curl up some. I have not done it well either though, so you would have to watch a bunch of tutorials and see how the others do it.

Check out these 2 sites. The book looks interesting:

I am not sure that will make a rose :?...it looks pretty much like the flower in basic shapes, angel...I do know my basic shapes...lol
Sorry, should not...maybe it will make a rose...I know nothing about that!

[angel]

lol no gj1, the video I posted she uses this shape to make the rose and she cuts five out. You must have missed my link, of course you know your shapes!! lol you have me cracking up haha!!

[gj1]

WOW, that is about the best looking flower rose and easy to make...maybe...I will see,...excellent tutorial... but, I had to come back and get your file, because I threw it in the trash...it is a very very 'special' basic shape flower...NOT the same at all, actually.... :)...turns out I DON't know my shapes so well, after all. Glue for the hot glue gun is now on my shopping list :)

Thanks for sharing this! We will have to show our flowers, later :)

See what you can find on Penny Duncan's website. she is the queen of the 3D flowers and has a lot of videos on the subject. You'll have to Google her, too tired to deal with that now.
