Only the most basic craft stationary is required, these include:
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • (Craft) Glue
  • Pens/Pencils

The most important material is the paper, unable tot find any origami paper, I had to settle for coloured A4 paper, and this turned out for the better. I used 80gsm A4 paper, as i didn't already have it, I purchased 100 sheets of red and green for $6.50 AUS. You may be able to borrow some coloured paper from your school or work, 1 sheet of coloured paper is required for the rose and 1 sheet of paper is required for the stem and leaves. You should experiment with different paper sizes and thickness to find what best works for yourself.

Other materials include:
  • clear transparent wrap (Cellophane) - to wrap the bouquet, around $2 from any Newsagency.
  • 1mm diameter wire - to make the rose stems, nice to have but not a requirement.
  • ribbon - to tie the bouquet or roses.
