Steps We used to Make the Flower Paper Roll Stamper

Here are al the steps we used the make the paper roll flower.

Supplies We used in Making the Flowers

We used the paper rolls, yarn and scissors. And you can use other string for the flowers if you want.

I know someone who did this and used tape to keep the rolled together

You place the seven paper rolls on flat area. You put one in the middle and six around the center one.

You wrap the yarn around a few times. This helps keep the rolled tighter together. You want to tie a knot when you are done. Then you want to cut the strips hanging really short.

You do two sets of the yarn wrapping. The second sent helps if one happens to come off. But two tied tight around the paper rolls helps them stay together.

Making the Paper Roll Flower Prints

You will see how we painted with the paper rolls.

Put the Paint on a Paper Plate

We did two sets of circles of colors of paint. You have a wider paint and a second color of paint that is in the center of the plate.

You place that paper rolls in the paint. You can check to make sure that all the paper rolls are covered in paint. You can move the paper rolls around on the plate to move the paint around.

Stamp the Paper Rolls on the Paper

You then stamp the paper roll flower on the paper. You want to make sure to press the rolls down. You can always put a hand on top and press.

Lift up and look at the Flower

You can see the flower paper right from the start. It is fun to see that first flower on the paper.

Keep Adding More Flowers

You are able to do two and sometimes three flowers with one paint set on them. You want to cover the whole paper.
You may want to go back to the paint every time if you want the flowers to be brighter.

Add Flower Different Flower Colors

You can keep to one color of flowers. But it is fun to do different colors of flowers. You can see how fun it looks on the paper to have two colors of flowers.

Let kids have fun and be creative while they are painting their flowers.
