Name Tag for a Gift

I was gift wrapping a present for a friend and at the end was not happy with how it looked it missed something. A name tag! :) Thus I came up with this easy way of making a name tag. Here I will be demonstrating how to make a simple easy rose using a quilling technique. 

Material needed:
Card stock (any colour, I have used yellow for the rose)
Scissors
Ruler
Glue
Quilling tool

1. Cut the card stock into these quadrilateral shape. You will need about 8-9 for one rose.

2. Use the quilling tool and curl both ends of the broader side of the quadrangle











3. Cut the narrow end of the quadrangle in the centre like shown in the photo and apply little glue and overlap the slit ends on top of each other. You have one petal! Make all the ten petals.
  

4. Cut a round shape of the card stock (usually the same colour but I am using a contrast colour here).


5. Now stick the petals one by one in concentric order like so.


6. Roll a loose strip and place it in the center of the rose.














7. Finally place the rose on a contrasting colour card stock and place it on the present like so. Doesn't it not look great!! :)


There are many ways to make roses using paper, here are some of them. Have fun!
