Giant Dramatic Paper Rose

Roses are so delicate and pretty, haven't you ever just wanted to see one blown up to a massive size? While those might not grow in nature, with these Giant Dramatic Paper Roses, you can make your own. Each petal in the tutorial has been scanned from an actual rose and turned into a free template, so this is about as lifelike as you're going to get when it comes to paper flowers — except for the size, that is. Hang it on the wall as a party decoration or give it to a friend in place of a bouquet; whatever you choose, these DIY paper flowers sure are unique.
