Origami Roses for Valentine's Day

Description

This was an origami bouquet request from my older brother, who's going to give it to his girlfriend tomorrow for Valentine's Day :3 He helped me a little with cutting out the leaves, even though you can't see them xD

I googled pictures of all kinds of dozen rose bouquets and decided on approaching the wrapping this way. I'm quite happy with the result ^^

Anyway, all of the blooms are kawasaki roses, if you couldn't tell :P Without further ado...

Flowers = red printer paper
Stems = floral wire and floral tape
Calyxes/leaves = dark green textured paper
Wrapping = plastic gift wrap for baskets (normal plastic is too flimsy), pink tissue paper, and ribbon
Baby's breath = found in a store's fake flowers section xD

All of the above materials can be found at Hobby Lobby :)

Very nicely done! I did the same thing for my girlfriend for her graduation though I was short on time and resources. After some testing, I folded a different rose to the Kawasaki version judging it to be easier to fold, easier to manipulate after and more suited for the bouquet. I absolutely love the stem, other leaves, and wrapping. I resorted to using metal wire coated in green plastic that I got at a dollar store and some plastic wrap I found around the house. The metal wire was very difficult to cut and the bouquet was very heavy... but I somehow made it work! Nothing compared to yours though. Good job!
