What could be more fitting for a Wonderland tea party than giant paper roses? I made these black ones for my Gothic Alice look, but red or white (or red and white) would work well if you're going for a classic Wonderland look. This craft was inspired by this post from Martha Stewart's website.
Me as Gothic Alice with one of the giant roses in the background.
Materials:
*Long wooden dowel, at least 1/4" thick
*Green paint
*Green duct tape
*Poster paper in the color or colors of your choice (that's what I used, although crepe paper or other papers may be better suited for this project)
*Pencil
Directions:
*Paint the dowel green. Let dry.
*Print out the templates given below.
*Trace and cut out 5 of the teardrop shaped petals and 15 of the heart shaped petals.
*Curl one of the teardrop shaped petals and tape it onto the dowel.
*Curl a second teardrop shaped petals and tape it to the dowel as well.
*Curl and tape the remaining teardrop shaped petals.
*Curl and tape the heart shaped petals. For those petals, you'll also want to curl the top edge down a bit to give it a more petal-like appearance.
