- On the flower "leg", wrap a strip of corrugated paper (core) with a roller and fix the workpiece (tie the thread);
- Instead of a bead of corrugation for the "heart" of a rose, you can use caramel or wrap some sugar candy on the trunk of a flower - the core will become sweet;
- While holding the petals with your fingers, form a flower, arbitrarily overlaying the leaves on the core layer by layer. Fix the petals at the base (tie the thread);
- The piping of the petals is masked with a corolla of a flower, cut out of green colored paper (corolla fix with glue), as in the picture;
- Wrap the pedicel with brown paper (the effect of the stiffened trunk of a rose) or use the same green color (paper, gouache, foil - at your discretion);

- Cut out two (or more) identical circles from the corrugation and stack them stacked one on top of the other;
- Taking all the mugs, fold them into a single "kulechek" (as for seeds) - it's very simple;
- Stepping back 1.5-3 cm from the top of the cone, fix the workpiece with a stapler, breaking through the "kulechek" with a paper clip;
- Carefully turning the design inside out, make the top of the former cone the core of the future flower (it will be harder to unscrew the more circles you initially took);
- Prepare the stem by wrapping the wooden skewer with green colored paper, from which it is possible to make stem petals;
- Pull the stem into the flower and, if necessary, additionally fix the joint (glue, tie the thread from the inside of the rose, etc.);
- Fan the petals arbitrarily, set the flower cup the necessary shape, decorate the rose with "dew".
