What do you need to make a rose from newspapers?
In order to make unusual roses, you need to prepare for work:
- old newspapers;
- scissors;
- pencil, felt-tip pen or marker;
- strong thread.
Making a rosette
First you need to cut out all the components of the future flower. To do this, you need to fold the newspaper into 6 layers, then draw petal patterns with a pencil or felt-tip pen. There will be several different sizes: small, slightly larger and the largest rose petals.
The drawn templates must be cut out and folded in half along the petal. Next, the workpiece is placed one inside the other in ascending order of size: small at the top, the rest below.
The templates folded in half must be tied with thread and a full bud must be assembled. Next, each petal needs to be bent from the center, aligning and straightening them carefully with your fingers. The size will depend on the number of newspapers that were taken for the craft. You can make several roses of different sizes and create a composition.
A more complex and beautiful flower can be made by adding a small bead to the craft, which will become the center of the rose. For this work you will need:
- newspapers;
- bead;
- glue;
- a thin wire that can fit into the hole of the bead;
- pliers.
When all the necessary materials are prepared, you can begin work. The length of the wire is approximately 25-30 cm. First, the bead is strung on the wire, left in the center, and the free ends of the wire remain on both sides.
Next, using pliers, the free ends of the wire are twisted together. You only need to make 4-5 turns, this will be enough.
The next step is to make the petals of the future rose. A small piece, the size of the future petal, is folded into 6 layers. The corners are cut to form a circle. This will be the first inner layer of the petals.
The resulting petals need to be wrapped around the bead, gluing at the base.
After this, you need to carefully straighten the petals with your fingers, bending them outward. This can be done not with all the pieces, but only with a few. The more petals are bent, the more magnificent the rose will be, and, conversely, if a few petals are bent, the impression of a half-closed bud will be created.
The next layer needs to be made of larger petals, similar to the first ones. Circles are cut out of folded newspaper, wrapped around wire and straightened with your fingers. The further number of petals depends on the imagination and desire of the master. The more there are, the more magnificent the rose will be.
Next you need to cut a long strip. You can take the edge on which the text is not printed, then the stem of the rose will be different from the petals.
The strip is carefully glued at the base of the bud, then the wire is tightly wrapped along its entire length. The strip also needs to be glued at the bottom to secure it. Thus, the wire will not be visible at all.
If desired, you can make a leaf by also cutting it out and gluing it to a paper leg.
This rose looks original and unusual.
A small number of petals will allow the bead not to get lost, but to look bright inside the bud. And having made several of these roses, you can put together a small composition.
Paper, especially thin newspaper, is a very flexible and manageable material from which you can make almost any flowers. They can be large or small, glued to cardboard or left as individual flowers on stems.
There are several more options for manufactured flowers, a description of which will be presented below.
Petals
So, how to make a flower from newspaper with your own hands? First, let's cut the petals. For one rose you will need 5 pieces of different widths. The first one is 3 cm, each subsequent one is 1 cm more.
Fold the flower cuttings from the newspaper into an accordion shape with your own hands, creating a square. Draw a neat, even petal on it with a pencil and cut it out. Set the finished petals aside.
Do this with each segment, placing petals of different sizes in different piles.
Let's start creating a rose. To do this, cut a wire 25-30 cm long. Place the bead on the wire and bring it to the center. Bend it in half and make 5-6 turns of the bead, twisting the wire together and securing it in the center.
The smallest petals are glued first. Go around the bead, securing the newspaper with glue. To be sure, you can use hot glue or quick-drying Moment glue.
Start bending the next stack of petals to the side or twisting them a little onto the pencil. This will make the rose look more luxuriant. Otherwise, the bud will not look very natural or closed.
Attach all the petals in this way, securing them with glue at the base. When the petals are finished, you can begin to form the stem and decor.
Rolled newspaper rose
So, for work you will need:
- newspapers;
- glue;
- paints;
- scissors;
- brush.
To begin with, you can make a large massive rose without a stem. To do this, the sheets need to be folded into long multi-layer strips. To do this, you need to fold the sheet in half along the long side, then in half again, and so on until the strip is about 1-1.5 cm wide. The longer it is, the more magnificent and massive the rosebud will be.
When the strip is ready, we begin to twist it. If it is perfectly smooth and uniform in thickness, the rose will turn out to look like an ordinary cylinder and will not look beautiful. Therefore, at small intervals the strip can be twisted, thus creating volume. After making 2-3 turns, the newspaper can be glued and then rolled further.
When the rosebud is ready, the end of the paper ribbon is also glued to its base. After this, the rose can be painted. Some people prefer to take a thin brush and carefully paint over the entire bud, even the innermost crevices, so that the color is uniform. Although careless painting with a thick brush, through which the text is visible, looks vintage and unusual.
You can try painting the rosebud in two layers. Then the colors will appear even more original and beautiful. This rose can decorate any composition or gift wrapping.

Good day!
Accept it, I made it :)!! So, a master class on roses from rolled newspapers. Let me remind you that I used these roses to lay out a New Year’s cone tree - “Cone tree with newspaper roses. It's happened :)".
In this master class we will look at two options for making roses. For convenience, I suggest calling the one on the left twisted, and the one on the right folded. Next you will understand why this is so :)
For work, in addition to hands and a creative spirit, we will also need: PVA glue, clothespins and direct material - newspaper. If all the newspapers have gone into tubes, it doesn’t matter, take magazines, office paper, covered notebook sheets, etc.
I tear the sheet into two long strips.
I bend one of the strips lengthwise twice, and crumple the second.
Let's start with a simpler option - a twisted rose.
I dip my fingers in the glue and liberally coat the newspaper while twisting the strip
Yes, having your hands covered in glue is not the most pleasant moment, but the result is worth it :)
Now we begin to twist our rose, forming the shape of a wheel from the strip
Having twisted it to the end, I pressed lightly in the center with my finger on the back side, pushing the middle of the flower a little higher.
back side
We put a clothespin on the rose and put it to dry.
I also generously lubricate the second strip with PVA.
I form the middle in the same way as in the case of the first rose, scrolling the strip.
And then I lay out the strip with the corners, forming petals.
Do you see the difference? Which one do you like best?
Below is a rose after it has dried. Notice what a nice shine PVA gives.
I got them about 5 cm. By increasing or decreasing the newspaper strip, you can get different sizes of flowers.
For the Christmas tree, after gluing the roses to the cone, I painted them with construction paint with a little gold acrylic added, and after drying with a sponge, I added the tone with pure gold acrylic.
And now a small announcement. A master class on making rosebuds from newspapers is coming soon, don’t miss it.
What do we know about dreams? What are they about - our past or future? Do they contain warnings, lessons or experiences from past years? Great minds are struggling to decipher dreams, but there is no consensus on this issue. One of the most interesting dream interpreters, Gustav Hindman Miller (19th century), believed that dreams contain hidden clues from our subconscious. And today Miller’s dream book https://www.sonnik-online.net/sonnik/millera/ remains the most detailed and authoritative interpretation of the signs and symbols that come to us in a dream.
Good luck to everyone and may you only have bright and good dreams!!

Torn paper flower
Flowers for which the newspaper is not cut, but torn into pieces by hand, look even more original. Torn edges look as natural as if they were created by nature and not by human hands.
To make such a natural flower, you need to tear the newspaper into small oblong strips. Pages of plain text or even printed images will work for this. Thanks to the variety of stripes, the flower will look unusual and bright.
The strips need to be crumpled into the same uneven tubes. And then make a flower from several tubes. You can take any number of them that your imagination dictates; the bud will be either small and neat, or lush and dense.
Having connected several strips into the core, you can take several wider strips, also torn off, and continue to increase the petals of the flower until the master thinks that its volume and splendor are already sufficient.
The petals at the base need to be glued together so that the flower does not fall apart.
The torn strips can not be wrinkled, but twisted, as was done when making a rose. Thanks to the thinness of newsprint, such a flower will look gentle and neat.
By making a composition of flowers and adding it, for example, with leaves, you can decorate the lid of the box in which the gift will be packaged. Using paper of different shades, you can achieve a beautiful result that will delight both the artist and the person to whom it will be given.
Wreath of paper flowers
A wreath based on wire and decorated with paper flowers looks beautiful, original and unusual.
Making it will require more time and skill than gluing regular flowers, but the result is worth it. By allowing yourself to dream, you can make a very beautiful decoration for any interior. Flowers can be supplemented with a carefully cut cardboard core, depending on the interior you want to fit the wreath into.
In addition to a bead and a cut out flower, you can use a regular button for the core. Its size and color should be chosen based on your own preferences and further design of the composition.
Thus, it is clear that newspapers are a universal material for making flowers and decorations, by playing with which you can make something original, unusual and beautiful.
Using thin wire and a few folded pages, you can make another type of flower that will also look good in any paper bouquet.
Several such blanks, after careful manipulation, turn into beautiful flowers of unusual shape.
A few old magazines, imagination and inspiration – that’s all you need to create mini-masterpieces, delighting yourself and your loved ones with beauty.
