paper flower
I used to make crepe paper roses, many years ago, and really they could be made out of any kinds of paper, they were individual petals, some shaped, by curling over the back of scissor blades, the inner petals kept tight. I just layered the petals and they were help by craft wire, and then covered with stem tape, they were gorgeous. With book paper you could use the assistance of some glue, but will need some wire to create a stem. Some time ago, Martha Stewart had on her website roses made out of coffee filters, then painted with water colors, same concept. I could probably find you the pattern. Hope this helps.
