I thought this would be a fun project to share. I love these little roses (you can make them bigger or smaller to fit your project). No tools except a glue gun.
Start with a 3" square. Tear the square by hand into a circle.
Start at the outer edge and tear the circle into a spiral, ending with just a dot at the center. This would be the point where you'd want to ink the torn edge if you like.
Start at the outside of the spiral and roll your spiral "strip" into your rose shape.
Make sure the inner edge stays even as you roll. Your rolling will be more cone shaped than coiled.
Continue rolling to the center dot. Put a gob of hot glue on the dot, then let your coil unroll slightly into the glue.
It takes a little practice. The trick is to make sure that bottom edge stays even. If you roll too tightly, you will actually end up with a tall spiral. That's not right.
