2. Fold the napkin in half. After that, bend from the top about 1/3 of the piece.
3. Place the napkin on the index finger of the left hand with the folded top and freely twist it.
4. On the bottom edge, tighten the napkin as tightly as possible.
5. On the top of the napkin there is a prominent corner, gently pull it up, and then sideways.
6. Carefully spread out your rose.
7. We begin to work on the stem. Separate one layer of green napkin and very tightly wrap it around the end of your rose.
8. Tightly turn the green napkin down, turning it into a stem.
9. When you decide that it's time to already appear a leaf, pull one edge of the green napkin up and make a paper from it. Then continue to twist the stem again. So you can make the leaves as much as you want.

One rose is ready. Now it's time to decorate it with a ribbon or sprinkle with varnish.
