Mini Paper Rose - Easter Table Setting Decoration

Scraps can make amazing things... this little rose is made from the leftovers of my Easter flowers.  I gave it felt leaves for some texture and it is attached to a toothpick!  These roses would make darling table arrangements or for individual place settings.  The tea cup was mine when I was a child, I remember sitting up at the bench having 'tea' and toast with my Mum at four years old.
To give you an idea of the size, the flower head measures 10x12cm and the vase and cup are 5cm high.  I cut the petals free hand and hot glue as I go.  I wish fabric flowers were this easy to make!!!
