Paper Rose and Twig Centerpiece

Pin It

I only had my phone for taking pictures of the centerpieces, but you've got the idea....

I'm always looking for centerpiece ideas that look beautiful, but are also inexpensive. Making paper flowers while watching TV is one of the perks of this project. It was also great to be able to use the many, many dead twigs in my yard for something other than kindling.  
I found a wonderful website on Pinterest awhile back that has a ton of free paper patterns for flowers and many more paper projects for party decorations and other projects.

I was asked to make centerpieces for our new pastor's installation. I happened to have a family Bible that I got for practically nothing because it had a broken binding. The pages of the Bible were the perfect size to print the patterns for the roses.  You can use plain copy paper, or any other 81/2 x 11 paper. 
The website has a rose pattern that includes a watercolor print  for blush, pink, and peach roses. I also used the paper rose bouquet template for the white roses I printed and another for the butterflies.
