Step 3 – Stretch and shape the petals

Gently stretch the petals from the middle and at the edges as shown in pic below.

To stretch in the middle, carefully pull the crepe outwards and upwards. So that the middle of the petal looks a little like a cup.

To curl at the top you can use a pencil and wrap the paper around it . While wrapping stretch the crepe paper a little.

This stretching and curling will form more natural looking rose petals.

4 – Make the green part (sepal/calyx) of rose flower

Take the green crepe paper and cut one edge as shown below. This when wrapped around will form the lower green base of the roses.

Step 5 – Give the green part (sepal/calyx) a natural look

To give it a more natural look just twist the ends and make it look like pic below.
