Finally!-Someone actually giving helpful instruction to open up the petals-THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[Ragnar_Svardfri]

I did everything like you said too but it doesn't look as good as that.
Any possibility of a video?

[Herrozerro]

Never Fear!  I have read this and i will be working on a video! 

[Ragnar_Svardfri]

Awesome!
Because my roses look good but they don't look nearly as good as those.

[FoReVa_LiFeSuRvIvOr]

IU think it also helps if you kind of bend the petals down at the end

this is awesome!thanks man.

How do you make it opened like this? My flower always finished really tall and narrow, I4d like to have large opened flowers like your :)

[Herrozerro]

I build loosely, i also put mu finger on the rose and wrap the petals over it to get them to start to open up. It takes practice, ive been doing this for at least a year now. I would say try to make them sloppy, not all tight. Imprefection is perfection here :P

thats the same problem that i was having...  thanks for that comment tho :)

[Duct Tape Dude]

Same here! Mine look like tulips!!! (they're still nice tho)

[kamo42391]

ok i so need help i  dont get how to get it to go out like this!!!

[Gsusfreak94]

I just can't get it to "flower" like that! mine is all tight and straight not flowing out.. :( please help!

[Maximum Life]

I really liked this, good work putting it together. What I like to do is to use a straw for the stem, and then wrap it with green duct tape (with a little green leaf!). :)

thank you sooooo much - i'm sure my junior high co-op class will really like this alternative valentines day craft

[lukichu]

wow thank you sooo much its awsome !!

[ianbar20]

when you start on the petals, do you start at the same level as the otner petals?
like this:

-> starting level ------- all petals

or is it like this ? all petals
->starting level --------

[Herrozerro]

The way i would explain it is that the petals build on each other. the level depends on the size of the petals, generally i try to keep the tips around the same level or slightly lower to get that open rose look

man, thanks for the detailed instructions. i made one before and it was tall, but on only my 2nd time i nailed it. this is so cool. i tried the website you got it from and it wasn't half as good as your instructions. thanks again, man.
