How to Make "Post It Notes" Roses

In this instructable, easily made roses are made out of post it notes. Any colored paper will do, of course, but these note pads seem to be everywhere, esp. at work!

Gather your post it notes, or colored paper, scissors, glue, forceps or tweezers, etc.

Starting with the pink notes, cut two or three circles from the note. Make them all different sizes, so that they will fit together properly.

Self explanatory, what you want is a cone shaped unit that is glued on one end and then added into another unit, or rolled piece of paper.

Cut the note into thirds as shown. The part on the right is the sticky part, which we don't want.

After all parts are glued as shown, it's time to put them altogether into the final flower.

I made two pink and one yellow-white rose. The three roses are joined together with short strips of paper, gluing one rose to another in the back.

Using the same green note paper, or a similar light paper, place three pieces together so that we cut three leaves at one time.

The roses and leaves are glued together simply by arranging the leaves in a pattern that looks natural. Try a dry run, then glue each leaf in turn into it's position on the roses.

If you want to make a corsage, or wall hanging, you can add a few embellishments such as ribbons.
