Paper Napkin Rose – Instant Flower Valentine

they say a rose is a symbol of true love
and here’s a cheesy little trick that
might help you find it for this project
all you’re going to need is a single
serviette open it flat on a table then
fold one of the edges back about an inch
and a half from the top now simply flip
it over and place one of your thumbs on
the corner behind the strip we’re going
to roll the whole thing around the
outside of our thumb until it forms a
tube and when it looks like this
try pitching it off just below the flap
and gently twist until it starts
tightening on this is going to be the
flowers head let’s keep twisting it down
another inch or two to form a stem then
take one of the corners at the bottom
and fold it up along the side you should
be able to see how this corner is
forming a little leaf as we continue
twisting the stem down the rest of the
way it should be starting to resemble a
real flower but the flower head doesn’t
look very convincing yet to fix that
let’s reach inside and twist the inner
folds around and now it looks incredible
the flap on the outside can be gently
pulled up around the rose head to make a
little decorative hood and it’s done
you’ve just made an instant white rose
to impress somebody special now check
this out if you try spraying a little
perfume or cologne on the flower head
it’ll smell good too I gave one of these
to the girl of my dreams seven years ago
and now we’re married and have three
kids if you don’t have a special someone
try using it as a fancy way to tip that
cute server that just brought you your
food
well now you can turn a humble eating
accessory into a clever expression of
your affection by the way you don’t even
have to have a napkin I just made this
one with a hamburger wrapper how awesome
is that
well that’s it for now if you liked this

random calm
