🖌️ How to Make This Mother's Day Card
- Step 1: Take a small piece of coloured craft paper and cut it into a spiral as like the spiral template.
- Step 2: Take the spiral paper and start to roll it from its outer edge.
- Step 3: Keep rolling the spiral pattern until reaching the centre.
- Step 4: Apply glue on the centre area of the spiral pattern, which now should be positioned below the rolled pattern. Press the roll with the centre to make sure that it is secured and glued with the centre part.
- Step 5: Similarly make around 20 rolled roses. You can create more if required to fill the heart pattern.
- Step 6: Prepare the card using any coloured card paper other than white. Trace and cut out the heart pattern of the template from a white paper. Glue the cut out heart pattern on the front side of the card.
- Step 7: Now start to glue the rolled roses inside the heart pattern on the card. Start gluing the roses from the bottom edge of the heart pattern.
- Step 8: Glue the roses along the border, moving upwards.
- Step 9: Fill the heart pattern with the craft paper roses neatly. Once done filling the heart with roses, allow the glue to dry for a while.
- Step 10: Though this step is optional, but you can also add a thin border around the sides of the card. Take 4 thin strips of coloured papers and glue them along the sides of the card.
💡Pro Tip: Gently tilt the card upright while placing final roses—this lets you preview how the overall shape holds together before everything is sealed.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Border Gap: Leave a slim margin around the edge of the card design so the rose layer doesn’t overflow—this keeps the shape readable and tidy.
- Even Centering: Start attaching the roses from the visual center of the shape, adjusting around that point to avoid accidental lean or lopsided results.
- Petal Facing: Position each rolled rose so the outer edge of the spiral faces slightly outward—this helps them nestle together without overlapping unevenly.
- Base Anchoring: Press each rose down firmly and hold for several seconds to prevent tilt; uneven pressure can cause slanting once the glue dries.
- Curve Matching: Align each rose along the curve of the base shape (like a heart or circle) instead of placing them flat—this preserves the outline flow.
- Height Balance: Avoid stacking roses too tightly in one area—spreading height evenly keeps the card balanced and prevents bulges when folded.
