Im not sure if any of y’all keep up with my posts but as promised I said I was going to post the Purple Rose today! And here’s the progress! I hope y’all enjoy the photos!
To poof up the paper around the zip tie I took the round side of my knitting needle and pushed that up into the ziptie area, i only did it with the outer layer, non of the inner layers. I found it made it look more like the photo and made the bouquet look more full! Anyways, heres the end result!
I hope this posts helps you and inspires you to do the same projects!
Side note: I found this one was almost a little harder then the lilac for one reason, putting all the layers of paper in the right spot! After a while, i figure out that i should kinda tighten the ziptie and once i had the paper where i wanted it, i fully zipped it tight slowly. And thats how i was getting my desired layers!
Wow! This is really pretty i love seeing the contents laid out like that, i wasnt sure what these flowers would be like so thats cool to see! I appreicate your posts thanks for sharing!
Welcome new friend!!!
You really love flowers. I saw a lot of Rolife and Rokr flowers.
I heard they’ll have new flowers this year, so be sure to keep an eye out.
Wow, this looks amazing! Your attention to detail is incredible, and I love how you shared your technique for poofing up the paper—it’s so helpful. I’m sure this will inspire many of us to try the Purple Rose too. Can’t wait to see what other creative builds you tackle next!
This looks amazing! The way you explained using the knitting needle and slowly tightening the zip tie is super helpful It shows your attention to detail and patience. Really inspiring — looking forward to your next project
Of course! Thank you for looking at my posts, it means a lot Youre comments are so sweet, thank you so much!! I see your posts all the time and love them! I appreciate all your posts too!
It’s beautiful thank you for posting your step photos because I was always curious how the puzzle looked before it was assembled. I am contemplating on which flowers to choose as a beginner - the Rowood or the plastic ones. What do you suggest?
I have not done any plastic ones…BUT I can say that working with wood is a bit harder. @Jill_Francisco mainly because of the risk of breakage if not accustomed to them.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I try my best to help everyone out as best as i can, I have struggles sometimes while i do my projects and whenever i do i tend to find my answers within the community! We all grow and build off eachother!
I would say for a starter flower a plastic one is definitely easier! I agree with @Nita_Davis, the lilac was a lot easier to break and more finicky. Something like this would be great!
