The rose, a beautiful flower and one of the strongest symbols of love and passion around the world. To many, giving a rose is a declaration of love and devotion. That’s probably because they are such an excellent metaphor for love. Their intricate spiralling petals and pleasant fragrance are as beautiful as the purest love. Yet like love, a rose is a very fragile thing and easily ruined. Last, their thorns remind us that love can sometimes be painful.

This stunning papercraft model captures the delicate beauty of the real thing, so it’s perfect to give to someone you love or for use as a household decoration. It’s important to note however that this model is rather challenging and not intended for beginners, on a 1 to 10 scale it’s probably an 8.

Tips:
