Paper Roses

I'm still not 100% sure why I NEEDED to make a bouquet of paper roses, but no regrets here!  I followed these instructions, and sacrificed some discarded/weeded library books for the cause.  The ruler is for scale because they ended up to be a crazy huge bunch in comparison to their thin wire stems. For a couple of them I put fake pearls in the center of the rose to add a little something special.
