I call this my “Downton Abbey” wreath, because that is what I was watching as I trimmed the 24 roses for this project {my new favorite show. . . thank you PBS}. Perfect for wedding decorations or to hang in your home, the Downton Abby era vintage pattern on the petals add an interesting detail to this hand crafted project.
To make your own wreath, simply print 24 pages of the paper rose wreath template and follow the paper rose instructions from my earlier post. I have included directions on how to make the wreath in the post below. I would love to see photos of your wreaths! Share your photos on Facebook and make sure to tag Ellinée to post them on our page. Enjoy! Lia

This a gorgeous wreath but soooo time consuming! Just to cut out all the petals and then curl the edges and put it together…. It took me almost 2 hours to make 3 regular size roses and 2 smaller ones. I would recommend having a group of people if you really want to make these for a wedding lol!
A group project is a great idea, Anna. It is time consuming but the results are worth it. Remember that when cutting, it does not need to be perfect. Roses are uneven by nature and adding the curl helps hide the flaws.
Sooooo pretty, i will definetly be making this. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Love this, so delicate looking. thank-you
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life! Thank you so much for sharing! Pinned!
Love the wreath and Downton Abbey!
This is so lovely. It would be a great decoration for a wedding!
So cute! Can’t wait to try to make one.
where are the instructions ? Beautiful
The instructions for the wreath are in the post below. The instructions for the roses are linked in the article. Have fun!
is this a project for a beginner. I have the pattern but now sure where to find the instructions on how to make them.
Love to give them a try though

Yes! We have has some newbie crafters try this rose, and it looked beautiful. I would say that the first three petals are the most complex, but all the others make up for it in simplicity. Gluing the finished roses to the wreath form are a synch as well. The step-by-step instructions for the actual rose are linked in the article, but just in case here is the link. http://www.ellinee.com/freebie-friday-diy-paper-rose-templates/
This is beautiful!
can you tell me the best kind of paper? some girlfriends and I are having a Pinterest party this Friday and I would love to start this there.
Thank you!

Believe it or not, the best paper is just simple copy paper. (But one of our readers did just say she made hers with card stock though it took a bit more to make them work). Ooohh. Pinterest party! What a fun idea.
This is one of the most gorgeous wreaths I have every seen! :)
Awww. Thanks.
Just downloaded your rose template.
Thank you very much!
Loved this wreath so much I featured it on my blog this weekend!
Thanks for the post!
I don’t have the instructions for the wreath-it says the post below-I have gone through all the posts that appear
I found the post-ignore my last message-thanks :)
Great! I was about to send you a direct link.
What am I gluing the roses to? I think that is what others were asking as well…not so much of how to make the roses. There are a lot of little details left out….like the base, where does the ribbon go, etc.
Did you see the step by step instructions for this wreath? Here is a link: http://www.ellinee.com/how-to-make-a-paper-rose-wreath/
Let me know if this doesn’t answer your questions and I will work to fill in the missing bits. :-)
Love the rose wreath and downloaded templates and instructions. I don’t see anywhere where it says what size wreath to buy? I know I am probably overlooking it but I can’t find it. Help please!
Thanks for pointing this out Jeanene, I will need to go back and add that. I used an 11 inch wreath form that I picked up at Michael’s.
I love this wreath it is so beautiful and your instructions are easy to follow, but I’m not sure what backer paper is and where I would buy it.
You can use simple text weight copy paper or any text weight paper, really. Some readers reported good luck using a heavier stock, though I prefer the lighter stock for my roses. The sky is the limit!
Thank you.
