Post-it® Brand Spiral Paper Roses

Print out this flower template (PDF), then cut out the flower and leaf patterns.

Trace the pattern onto your favourite colour Post-it® Notes and cut them out. Trace 40 petals for the large rose, 35 petals for the medium, and 30 for the small. On the leaf-coloured paper, trace 2-3 leaves per flower.

Pro tip: Position the paper so the V shape of the petal sits on the sticky part of the Post-it® Note. This will be helpful later!

Wrap the petals around a pencil (or roll them with your fingers) so they all curl cynlindrically.

Take a 6-10 inch wire, and wrap a petal around it (V side down), tight enough so that the wire doesn’t show. Secure the petal with hot glue.

Take another petal and wrap it a little looser than the first one around the stem (again, V side down). Secure with hot glue. Keep adding petals! 
Pro tip: Move downward and distribute evenly around the rose when adding petals.

Once your blossom is set, glue or tape the leaf cutouts onto the blossom stem. You can give them a natural curl by wrapping them around a pencil.

Finish up by wrapping the wire with Scotch® Masking Tape first then covering it with green floral tape. Wrap carefully around the leaves!

                                Clap. Clap. Clap. That is truly a magnificent rose.
