Step 1
THE TEMPLATE. You can find the template at http://meholder.blogspot.tw/2009/03/paper-flower-tutorial.html. Just transfer it to word, resize it to however big you want your rose to be, and print it out. Or, if you have a large six-petal punch, you can use that too. This just gives you the freedom to change the size.

Step 5
SMUDGE THE PASTEL TO FADE THE COLOR. Using the cotton swab or Q-tip, fade the pastel inward, rubbing firmly. You will want to start from the edge and pull toward you, following the curve of the arch so that you don't have any straight lines. mostly, you just keep rubbing until you get the ombre effect.

Step 10
GLUE THE PIECES TOGETHER. glue the second biggest to the biggest, using a generous amount of glue and gently press them in place. It will pop up a little, but it will rest better when all of the pieces are in place.

Step 11
CREATE THE CENTER. take the two petal piece you cut out earlier, curl the petals back like you did with the big flower parts. then uncurl them and tightly roll the tips. place a tapered paintbrush flush with the long side of the petal and roll away from you, creating a funnel. keep adjusting the curls as you roll so they don't flatten. The inside petal should be taller than the outside petal. glue in place. Once the glue is dried, snip off the point and glue it to the rest of the half-assembled flower. refer to http://meholder.blogspot.tw/2009/03/paper-flower-tutorial.html for more help.
