In today’s post: Learn how to make stunning paper roses with this free printable paper rose template! Easy step by step instructions for making paper roses, including printable templates in five different colors and a video tutorial.
With just a few supplies, you can turn plain paper into beautiful paper roses! Use the flowers to decorate your home, gift them to someone special on Valentine’s Day, or make a bunch to decorate tables at a wedding. These roses look realistic because they use paper that’s been printed on both sides with the same pretty design. And this isn’t special craft paper you’ll need to buy: it’s plain old paper that you can print our designs on using your home printer! Each DIY paper rose takes one sheet of paper and looks like this when complete:
Gorgeous, right? And, happily, it won’t die when I neglect to water it.
I created a free template in five different colors for you. The one you see below is a purply/red and it’s my favorite. Each template has two pages: one is the front page and one is the back, so be sure to check “double sided” on your settings before printing. (Or just print page 1 and then re-feed the piece of paper before you print page 2 on the back.) The front of the templates has four squares you’ll cut out, and the back is just a full page of the same pretty watercolor design. All the cutting lines are marked, so there’s no need to trace anything!
Choose the color template you’d like to download below. Be sure to print the template on the front and back of a sheet of 8.5×11 printer paper. Print the template at 100% or full size.
