https://www.etsy.com/listing/4481423263
Basic Supplies:
- Printer
- Paper: 8.5″x11″ computer paper, cardstock or glossy/brochure paper to print your roses
- Scissors
- Tape or double-sided tape (works best)
- “Sticks”: Some sort of stick to place the roses on (ex. wooden grill skewers, candy boxes, fun pencils, individually wrapped beef sticks, etc)
- Basket/Container (fun container like a decorative basket, plastic container, ice bucket, plastic/metal/glass cup, popcorn bucket, tumbler, etc)
- Filler for basket/container (optional) such as candy, a foam flower piece, cut crinkle paper, tissue paper, etc as filler in the bottom of the container to help keep the flowers in place
- Items to fill your basket (favorite candy, gift cards, small gifts, shirt, themed items, etc)
- Greeting Card (optional)
Some of my favorite places to grab supplies from include:
- Walmart (bonus: use Walmart+ delivery 🙌)
- Dollar Tree (local and fast if you need it right away)
- Amazon
💡 Pro Tip: Keep a couple neutral baskets or containers at home so you can make a gift anytime!
🖨️How to Print
- Open the file Use Adobe Reader (recommended) or any PDF reader.
- Choose your page & print
- Go to: File → Print
o Select “Print Current Page” (this is SUPER important so you don’t print every page!)
o Paper size: 8.5” x 11”
o Choose “High Quality” for Output Quality for printing
o Size: 100% (full size) (or actual size)→ Roses will be about 3” tall x 3.25” wide
Optional: - Turn borderless printing ON or OFF (both work great!)
- Print smaller (like 50%) if you want mini roses
Paper ideas: Regular printer paper, Cardstock (more sturdy 👍), Glossy photo/brochure paper, Iridescent or specialty paper for a fun effect✨ Glossy/brochure paper will give best results & vibrant colors.
👉TIP: Always print ONE test page first to make sure everything looks perfect!
✏️ Want to Customize Your Own?
While fonts, colors, and wording in the designed roses can’t be edited, we’ve got you covered!
We included blank roses in a ton of additional colors (including white) so you can:
- Write your own message
- Add names, dates, or inside jokes
- Let kids color or draw a design on their own roses
Just grab a pen, marker, or Sharpie and make it yours!
✂️ Cutting Tips
- Cut out your roses & stems
- Cut along the black outline
- You may need to trim stems slightly shorter depending on what you’re attaching them to as you might not need them that long
💐Build Your Bouquet!
- Attach & create! Use tape or double-sided tape to attach your roses to items like: Wrapped Beef Sticks, Wrapped String Cheese, Candy, Gift Cards, Wooden Skewers, etc. Then build your bouquet! Get creative with your “vase”: Candy containers, Popcorn Buckets, Ice buckets, Metal or Plastic Buckets, Drink Tumblers, Glass or Plastic Cups, etc. Anything fun you can think of! Add tissue paper, easter grass, crinkle paper/shred, candy etc to fill the bottom of your container before adding your roses.
🌹 Make one flower or a full bouquet — it’s totally up to you!
