Thank you @Atropex I haven’t made a lot of miniatures yet, but little has been pre-made and everything needs to be cut out and pasted.

Thank you @Jo1 :hugs: Making these flowers is actually faster than painting the small details in the classic carousel :zany_face:

I have a feeling that I am going to come across some of those paper flowers in the DIY Bridal Nook. It will definitely be a first time for me. @Liset

Good luck! Use tweezers if you need to roll up the flowers, that goes a lot faster. @jeanneL also had a good tool for this. Don’t know the name anymore :sweat_smile:

Your roses look pretty darn good. My initial ones looked like crumpled paper

Thank you @jeanneL :hugs: These also look just like crumpled paper balls, but it still adds some color to the build.

Thanks! I just looked in the box…there will be tons of them to cut, roll and glue. :grimacing: I think it was a quilling tool she had mentioned…? @Liset @jeanneL

Yes, that was indeed it. I use pointed tweezers and that works too, you just have to hold the paper in place when you pull the tweezers back, otherwise you pull the flower apart again.

I don’t know what else it’s supposed to be, and I also don’t know how to make it look more like bread :sweat_smile:

Thank you @Anje_Leonoza_Mira :hugs:

Ohhhhh…thanks for the tip…This does not sound fun at all. I may try a toothpick…I don’t know… :zany_face:

Thank you @Tkaplan :hugs: Through this hobby, I’ve discovered that I can be quite precise, but these details are still tricky to make, and my husband regularly hears me swearing when I drop another piece :rofl:

I also started with a toothpick, but that doesn’t hold the first part in place and it’s difficult to start rolling. But who knows, maybe you’ll succeed :wink:

That’s a lot of work. Well done @Liset
