As a paper artist and paper engineer, I really enjoy coming up with new box designs. I like figuring out how to turn flat paper into something fun and 3D. It’s like a little challenge every time, and that’s what makes it exciting for me. I’m always looking for new shapes and ways to make boxes more interesting, not just useful but also beautiful. Designing things like this heart box is where I feel most creative and happy.
🌹 Tips for Perfect Paper Roses
- Paper Choice: Use lightweight cardstock for easier rolling.
- Curling: Gently curl the edges of the petals for a natural look.
- Layering: Stack multiple rose sizes for depth and dimension.
- Color Variation: Mix shades of the same color for a realistic bouquet.
