So heres how Jen made it . (Don't forget to view our other members crafty projects by clicking here!)

MATERIALS:

3 book pages, a scissors, and a hot glue gun, pearl beads (optional) and wire flower stems (optional).

HOW TO:

-Keeping the book pages stacked, cut the pages down to approximately 4x6.

-Next, cut the book pages into a circle.

-For the next step, cut the pages into a spiral shape

-I usually start off the spiral with a thinner strip and gradually create a thicker strip as I create the spiral. Finish the spiral by creating a tab in the middle of the circle

- Starting with the outer end of your spiral and keeping all 3 pages together, start rolling your strips inward into a spiral shape to create the rose's center.

- Then, as you keep rolling the strips inward to create the rose's shape, hold the unrolled strips together with your left hand.

Once you reach the end of the strips, put a dab of hot glue on the top of each tab and secure to the bottom of the rose.
