Here's my second attempt at making a paper rose (on right). The first one (on left) I did all wrong..I dyed my coffee filters first for the second rose because I had no more pink watercolor paint. I then went to Martha Stewart's site and found the video & closely watched it. I just think with these practice makes perfect. Cassie Chappell's roses from Mommy Makes Roses are fabulous because she has made so many..Instead of using colored paper for my leaves I used coffee filter paper and then hand painted the leaves with watercolor paint.

Mary~ Those are gorgeous !!! You did a wonderful job on them ~
Mary,
They look so real in the picture.
What a great craft. How long does it take to make just one? It looks time consuming. Will it keep me from cleaning the kids' bedrooms a little longer????

Bella,

Oh Mary..... just gorgeous!! you are so very talented!
The roses are beautiful and the colors outstanding!
Just beautiful! I think it's amazing they are out of coffee filters.
Wow!! You did a great job. They are both beautiful.
Mary, these are lovely! Nice job. I know that Amy at Bunny Rose Cottage & Connie at Living Beautifully are both doing them, too. I watched the video, but would never have the patience for that!! Yours are very life-like!
Hugs,

I'd have said the first one is fabulous, but now the second one is twice as realistic. Oh so nice.
