Thicketworks Studio | 🌹How to Make Miniature Roses from Tracing Paper🌹 @Thicketworks | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Bonus: Mini Trellises and Tuteurs 😘
Ever tried to create miniature paper roses? I hadn't, and I wouldn't have dared without the Cricut Maker.
Why not? Because they freak me out! ANY tiny floral thing seems far too difficult for these enormous fingers to deal with...that's why I spent so much time perfecting a method that actually works and results in tiny blooms that you can be proud of.
The secret? Well, it's the lightweight version of DIY Vellum. That's what imparts such delicacy to the petals, and distinguishes them from the thicker version made with printer paper.
