How to Make a Mini Flower Bouquet With Post-It Notes
In this easy paper flower tutorial, I will show you how to make a paper rose with one of the most common office supply: Post-It Notes (aka sticky notes).
Rolling the pink sticky note
Take a pink sticky note or any color you prefer. Fold the sticky edge about 6/16 inch. Then, fold one side about 7/16 inch. Fold the bottom part of the folded section in half, as shown in the photo below. Once folded, roll the sticky note toward the other end.
Making the rose
Carefully twist the bottom part to make a rose.
Cutting the green sticky note
Fold the sticky part of the sticky note, then cut that part in four equal parts.
Making the leaves
Fold each petal section into a point. Once done, gently place the rose onto the first leaf.
Wrapping the rose
Wrap the green sticky note around the flower, then twist the bottom part. Gently fold the pointed tips outward. Make several more pieces. I made 16 roses.
Making the bouquet
Gather the flowers together, then use a rubber band to tie them.
Making the circle box
Measure the length from the bottom of the pink section to the bottom of the green section. Cut the toilet paper roll to that length. Then, cut the longer piece, flatten it, then glue the tube onto the flattened cardboard. Make sure to leave a little bit of space at the bottom.
Adding the flowers
Cut a small strip from the remaining cardboard and glue it to the bottom of the tube. Once done, place the flowers inside.
Decorating
Decorate it however you like. I made this cute heart signage using a toothpick, cardstock, and brown paper.
