Flower Week: roses
This post is a part of Flower Week on Folding Trees. Every weekday, I will be showcasing different types of paper flowers. You may be surprised at the variety of flowers you can make using different paper craft techniques! If you know of any amazing flower tutorials I should include in my round-up, let me know!

Quilt This and Scrapbook That! has a tutorial to make these pretty paper roses, with each petal cut out and glued individually. I’m guessing you could easily use recycled paper cut from magazine pages to give them a different look:

And I’ll finish this week of paper flowers the way I started, with a tissue paper flower. This elegant rose is by The Artful Crafter:
I hope you’ve enjoyed the first Folding Trees theme week. If you make anything based on the projects I’ve highlighted, we’d love to see them in our Flickr group. And if you have any suggestions for the next theme week, please let us know!

Quilling inspiration
For those of you who are new to quilling (like us here at Folding Trees) and in need of some inspiration, you really have to go and have a look at Luciana’s Flickr set. The colors and shapes she uses are so vibrant.
