Hi, again! Kelley here with another easy party decor idea. I have had a beautiful DCWV stack on my desk for months and absolutely love all of the gorgeous patterns inside; however, I had no clue what I wanted to create with it! Does this ever happen to you? You fall in love with the colors and patterns of a certain paper, but you are clueless as to how you want to use it?
It finally hit me the other day when I was looking through old photos of my daughter’s first birthday - rosettes!
A few years ago, before I got crafty, I purchased premade rosette fans and used them as a backdrop for the dessert table at my daughter’s party and received such great feedback. I decided to give it a shot and I am thrilled with the outcome.
Here are the supplies you will need for this project:
- Pattern paper (Check out our collection of foil pattern cardstock here)
- Glue
- Clothespins
- Cricut Design Space file #M3C899 - Scoring stylus, wheel or manual board
Once you have the template in design space, duplicate the rosette strip so that you have a total of four pieces. Next, duplicate the round piece so that you have a total of two center pieces. Send it to your Cricut machine, load your mat and get those pieces cut and scored. (Note that you can also create this without a file, by cutting long rectangle strips, scoring at even dimensions and then folding according to directions.)
Next, fold your strips accordion style – two strips folded with the pattern ends facing up, and the other two folded with the pattern ends facing down.
Apply your favorite craft glue to one end of a strip, attach to a second strip, and use a clothespin to secure until the glue dries. Continue until the rosette is formed.
Next, glue the centers on either side. Know that the back center piece is important as it stabilizes the rosette and prevents it from flipping inside out.
How easy was that?
Once you have the basic technique down, you can make these in any color or theme for an easy party decor idea. Trust me, you will receive a ton of compliments! As always, if you decide to try any of our projects, remember to tag us on social media: Instagram @12x12cardstock and Facebook @12x12CardstockShop.
Until next time!

I like to use my score board to make uniform folding lines in the paper to make a rosette. However, heavier paper is harder to do this with the score board. I feel this is easiest for me.
I love these rosettes . They are gorgeous and can’t wait to make one or two or three etc. I will order some of your great paper too!
Absolutely love purchasing from 12×12 Cardstock. Have what I need and are very fast with shipping. Love the surprise in the package and cards the cards with crafting sayings. I hang them up in my craftroom right by my work space.
