How to make your rose heart craft
STEP 1: Gather your materials
To keep everything organised and mess-free, before you begin get all the supplies ready and close by.
STEP 2: Create the card base
Begin by making your card. Fold a piece of thin card or thick craft paper in half. You can choose the size of your card. I would suggest making it square and using a white or very light colour so the heart design can stand out. Next, use a pencil to trace the heart shape on your card base.
STEP 3: Cut out your paper spirals
Take a small piece of coloured craft paper and cut it into a spiral, using the spiral on the template as a guide.
STEP 4: Create the paper spirals
Take the spiral paper and start to roll it from its outer edge.
Keep rolling the spiral pattern until reaching the centre.
STEP 5: Secure with glue
Following the same steps, create tons of little rolled roses.
STEP 6: Start laying out the card design
Now you have created you paper roses it is time to use them to make a heart shape on your card. Start gluing the roses inside the traced heart pattern on the card, starting along the border of the heart.
Fill your heart pattern on the card with paper roses and allow the glue to dry.
STEP 7: Frame your rose heart
Adding a paper frame around the edge of the card makes the rose heart really stand out. Take 4 thin strips of coloured paper and glue them along the sides of the card to create a frame.
You just completed your Rose Heart Card! Once you get the hang of how to make the paper roses it isn't as hard as it first seems.
