"You know a regular roses tends to die if you don't put them in water so I'm going to show you how to make one that will last for a little bit. My name is Robert Segundo and today I'm going to teach you how to make a paper rose. If you look down at the table here you'll see I got a couple of pieces of tissue paper, I got a pink one and a green one. Basically what we are going to do is we are going to take these and fold these in half. Because we don't need our rose to be two huge. What we are going to do, we are going to take our piece of green paper and it doesn't matter if it's not folded correctly. We are just going to lay it over just a little bit like so. Take this and flip it over. Like so. Basically what we are going to do is we are going to roll it up. Just pull it. I mean this is simple. This ain't nothing. Then at the end here we are going to take and just kind of roll it a little bit. Just going to flip this up some. Fold that side up too. So it's not showing outside of the green. Fold it over like so. Basically we are just going to grab a bit, twist it up, take our rose here. From here you just kind of take it and shape it how you want to, make sure to get this other part here which is going to be your leaf. I'm going to take it, twist it a little bit like so. And fold it down and make it look like a real leaf. Get this out of here. You can kind of untwist it just a little bit. There you go. Just get it a little more here. And there you have it. It's just a real cheap thing to do if you got a couple of pieces of paper lying around and it doesn't have to be green and pink like this. You can just do it out of a regular piece of white tissue paper if you have it. Lets just put that down a little bit. There you go. She is sure to be impressed now. Alright I'm Robert Segundo and enjoy making your paper rose."
