Thanks for the roundup. I’ve seen all these tutorials before (I’m researching these to use as centerpieces for my wedding next fall) and I think I’m gonna play around with the Salvaged whimsy one and the Martha Stewart one by using rolled flowers for the interior and a couple layers of the larger petal template from the Martha Stewart ones to give the individual petal look on the outside of the flowers.
If it’s a success I’ll report back and post pictures.
Hi Sharon, try applying craft paint with a brush to the tips instead of dipping tips into a dye bath. Otherwise, a different filter might produce better results. Good luck!
Beautiful, cheap and easy. I like that you dyed the paper.
Thanks Dawn! I had planned on using water colors but was lazy and just opened my fridge to see what I could find! LOL
I love the white rolled version…they look very real. Thanks for the tut. I have made the martha ones, but I like your version much better!
Thanks Alane!! I like Martha’s but they were a lot more time consuming. Thanks for the sweet compliment!! 😉 I’m so glad you enjoyed my tutorial.
we sure could use a little more help with the rolling part #amateur #kids #thanks can you post a video or more interim steps?
When you roll the coffee filters, make sure one end it tight and the other end loose to create the flower shape. Hope that helps!

I would love to see pictures Chandra!! I’m sure they will turn out beautiful. 🙂
How did this work out? I’m trying to find good tutorials for my wedding!
I love this. We are using paper flowers for my grandson rehearsal djnner. This new method is great allso. Thanks for sharing.
That will be so pretty! Thanks for the kind words.
These look great and I am excited to try them. One question though, do you dye them before or after assembling?
Thank you!
I dyed them after I assembled but you could definitely dye them before! It was more of an after thought for me. 😉
Gorgeous! Did you dye the white ones or did you use white coffee filters and just leave them be?
Thanks! I used white coffee filters. 🙂
Because the coffee filters are so porous it’s hard to color just the tips, so what is the best way to keep the dye from spreading?

Do you have a YouTube tutorial making the roses?
I’m sorry, I don’t!
