One of a kind handmade rose =]
I say boutonniere in the title because I made it for my prom date, but this could easily be altered to make a corsage, or just any kind of decorative flower.

Also, I used sheet music (because it matches my dress quite well), but have fun with different colors and mediums =]

I was inspired to make this by the beauty of a natural rose in full bloom, and I googled many a photo, like the second one above, while making my more permanent version.

  • How to make a paper brooch. Paper Rose Boutonniere - Step 1
    Step 1

    To start out, you'll need a bunch of kind of heart shaped pieces of paper. I used about 10.

    Note: for the first, innermost petal, skip all the curling around the knitting needle and wrap it directly around the stem.
