Lovely, a rose made from old playing cards and some hot glue. I thought this up while thinking about the Red Queen's roses. I bet she would love to have a bouquet of roses like these.
This single rose was made from one suit, diamond. I just cut petal shapes from each card and roll it into a rose pattern, with hot glue. I am going to try to make some more roses, because not only this will be great for an Alice in Wonderland costume, it is great as a Valentine's gift.
Here are some pictures showing how the rose was made.
Recycle Cards
Roll one half up and glue to form a bud.
Add some petals.
Base. Then glue on more petals.
Final roses.
do you make the petals in different sizes? I want to make this out of magic cards for my wedding!
ReplyDeleteSorry, it took long to get back to you. I had school. The petals do decrease in size. Just make sure they are long to take the hot glue and be tucked into the rose. This will allow you to curl the petals or distress them.
