Well this was inevitable. Part Two... mwahahaha! ;) I think I will now only do 3 parts just because I don't see the point in 5. That's a lot to keep track of, and quite frankly its just long, and I'm very laz- I mean "choosy" when It comes to my time. Well let's see do we really need a long introduction. Ya maybe, I don't know, what do you think. It's like I'm just writing to get more words showing up on the screen... Ok let's get started. Today I am subjecting you to learn how to make the ROSE. (I couldn't really think of anything creative for that one.) :)
POP QUIZ!!! What are the materials that you will need? Take your time. :) I'll just wait here until you remember them... let me give you a hint.
Think you got it? Good now let's figure this thing out.
Step One: Find a blue piece of paper and put a vintage book version of Mickey mouse on it. This represents Disney's new Cinderella (2015), probably the most beautiful version I have seen yet.
Step Two: Don't actually do that, but the Cinderella thing is true. :)
Step Three: Cut out some circles. They can be lopsided, big, or small. Just make sure they are the general shape of a circle, not actually Mickey mouse.
Step Four: Cut your circle into a swirly. Make sure your swirls are roughly the same width or they start out small and get bigger as you cut in. Just don't forget to leave a mini circle in the middle of your now swirly circle. Oh and don't cut it off, that would be bad. Tip: When making a bigger ROSE with a bigger circle, the inside circle should also be bigger, as well as the swirly part(s). ;)
Step Five/Six: Ok this is where it gets a little more difficult, but its ok, we can get through this... together! "Together, Together, Together, everyone, Together, Together, come on let's have some fun!" High school musical the perfect mix of teenage drama and music, it's "wonderful" and so true to life. ;) (I do hope you all understand my sarcasm).
Ok so steps 5 and 6. Start twisting the end of the swirl between your fingers, this is the middle of your rose.
Hold the "baby swirl" you just made in between your fingers and start wrapping the rest of the paper around until you get to your little circle and are out of swirl. Tip: Keep the narrow/bottom of the swirling level on your finger, the thumb is great for the wider/top of the swirl because it can push the center down better, while holding it all together.
Step 7?: Now that you have reached this part of the ROSE, you are now ready to finish it up, kind of. Go ahead while still holding the swirl, Mod Podge the little circle.
Slide the swirl on top of the gluey circle and hold down, until it's semi dry(ish). It doesn't have to be all the way dry, that would take a while, and your fingers would probably cramp or something like that. Don't worry because "We're all in this together! anyalkdfjgn asndg dlkang dljasdoiengs." That moment when you forget the words.
If the center of your ROSE is not cooperating, just take the end of your paint brush and show it who's boss!
Step 8ish: Now you can leave it or trim off some whacky "petals" in order to get the "perfect" ROSE. But don't go over board you want that rusticy, rosey, look.
Step 9: Mod Podge it. Now you are done! But only if you want to be. WHAT?
That's right, you can do a giant one. Tip: When swirling the giant one, swirl as usual, but let it "unswirl" and naturally let it create it's own swirlyness. The big one is a little more difficult, because when you start glueing you will need to be a little more purposeful as to where the swirls stick.
And when you are done with your giant ROSE, you can put a pearl in the middle of one of your small ROSES.
And then stick it in the middle of your big ROSE! Diversity is a virtue. :)
Now go have fun and make your ROSE(es)! And then watch Cinderella because it's just a really pretty movie. :) See ya later!
