I almost always test cut projects out of 80# white smooth coverstock.
This project came to me from my Pinterest feed, and landed me at Unoriginal Mom’s post on Paper Rosette Wreaths.
She credits another crafter for the inspiration. (Side note: I totally love the craft blog community. It doesn’t feel competitive as much as it feels cooperative.)
In her post, Unoriginal Mom is even friendly enough to give away her cut file.
Which works perfectly. I test cut several flowers of various sizes. They are easy to assemble. And I can see how her process of making all the flowers and gluing them while binge-watching TV and then assembling the wreath would work.
But I can also see I’m not going to follow through with this one. I’m sure it would be worth it, but I don’t want to end up with a big paper bag of roses that never become anything.
I do have visions of cutting them out of pastel paper and making magnets or gift wrap toppers.
