Valentines Day is soon upon us! Need a gift? If you have decent papercrafting skills you might want to give this project a try. Despite how it looks, this box of roses is not origami, but papercraft. Each of the rose blossoms is built from thin cardstock that is folded, cut, curled, then glued in place with gluing tabs.
