Making a rose is special and unique and very very cheap but best of all because you made it yourself it believes in a thing called love that bit more!

Rose 1

Stage 1:

Take your napkin, tissue, serviette, toilet roll, newspaper and fold the top edge down about 6 cm's. Catch the fold between the index and middle finger and wrap the napkin around so that the folded down portion stays on the inside.

Rose 2

Stage 2:

Keep wrapping the napkin around your fingers securely but not too tightly, because in stage 3 you will remove the napkin from the fingers to complete the rose.

Rose 3

Stage 3:

Pinch the napkin together with your other hand and give it a squeeze and a firm twist or two. You can remove the fingers from the wrapped napkin at this point and continue to twist the napkin downward from the pinched point evenly to about half way down the stem.

Stage 4:

Hold the twist securely with one hand and with the other, find the lower outside corner of the napkin and work the corner loose until you have enough napkin to form a leaf when you pinch it half way down the stem and continue twisting the remainder of the napkin around.

Stage 5:

Your rose is ready for the finishing touches. Hold the rose securely and reach into the centre of the rose and twist the folds. This will separate the layers slightly and give a pretty effect to the center of the flower.
