Red roses
We had a lot of fun making these bright red roses. Each petal was made by flattening a small sphere of Plastimake until it was quite thin. The first petal was wrapped into a spiral, then one-by-one each petal was placed onto the rose. The whole rose was dipped in ice water after each petal was added so that the petals would retain their shape.
Have a look at the colouring and sheet-making techniques and give it a try yourself!
Each rose is approximately life-size, and uses about 100g of Plastimake.
