Full supply list with links here - https://www.abbikirstencollections.co... SUPPLIES - 65 pound weighted cardstock paper. You can find this online or at local craft stores like Michaels, Joanns, etc. I do not recommend going any heavier than 65-pound cards and no lighter than 50 pound. Choose a color for your rose and then a shade of green for your leaves. Next, you will need to decide if you are cutting by hand with a pair of scissors, or will you be using a cutting machine? My templates come in both compatible formats. I will be using my Cricut Maker today. You will also need something to curl your petals with - a 1/2 wood dowel or a pen or pencil. High temp hot glue gun on hand as well. My favorite glue gun is the Surebonder brand. The following few supplies are optional, depending on how you want your rose to look. Adding things like distress ink will really bring life to your flower. - If you use ink, be sure to have an ink dauber or ink brushes on hand. If you plan to stem your paper rose, you will need to have 18 gauge wire on hand and some corsage tape. I also will be using some green crepe paper strips to build my stem up. For our leaf assembly, Tacky glue and thin 24 gauge wire are required. You may also want to have a pair of wire clippers on hand. Don't be afraid to improvise with other tools you might have on hand. Lastly, to make these paper roses, you also need patience for yourself and plan to have fun!
