4.
Make the center core of the rose by wrapping the
core around the widest part of the brush handle. Secure it at the base with
craft glue and sticky tape. Remove the
bush. Ensure that the base remains open
as you work. You will be able to insert
a sick to form the stem of the rose.

6.
Fold the
towel to form four layers and place a petal on top. Use the spoon to soften the paper by applying
pressure and sliding the back of the spoon from the center towards the edge of
the petal. Repeat several times to cover
the whole petal. The edges of the petal
should start to curve up. Use your
fingers and scrunch a 1cm rim around each petal. Repeat for the remaining petals.

Assemble the rose: Place craft glue at the base
of a petal and fold it around the core.
Secure it with sticky tape at the base.
Repeat with the remaining inner petals.
Offset each petal slightly to obtain a natural look. Curve the petal tops outwards as you work. Continue with the outer petals shaping the
petals as you go along.
