And now comes the best! It's time to get down to work to make some pretty red roses. Below you can discover step by step the entire production process of these flowers with EVA rubber as the main material. Let's go there!
- The first thing is to take the letter-size sheets of EVA foam and with the help of a ruler, make strips measuring 3 centimeters wide by 21 centimeters long.
- Then, with scissors you will have to cut the first strip of the EVA rubber sheet and so on until you finish the whole piece.
- Once we have all the EVA rubber strips ready, the next step is to use the scissors to make waves on one of the sides of the strips. It is not necessary that the waves come out perfect but it is interesting that each one of them is of a different height so that later the flower looks pretty.
- The next step is to roll the EVA rubber strip on itself to make the flower petals. In order for the EVA foam to be attached, you will have to put a little glue at the beginning and at the end to close the flower.
- Finally, add a green pipe cleaner cut in half inside the rose petals with the help of a little glue to simulate the stem of the flower. And ready! You have already finished your red roses with EVA rubber.

The procedure to make the petals of the red roses with EVA rubber is the same as in the simple version of this craft. The difference comes in terms of flower stem and leaves. Let's see what it consists of:
- Once we have the red rose petals with EVA rubber ready, the next step will be to add the stem to the flower. To do this, instead of half a green pipe cleaner, we will use a skewer stick lined with green crepe paper. If you don't have this type of paper, don't worry, you can use a green marker or acrylic paint and a brush to color the skewer stick.
- Let the stems dry and reserve them for later. The next step is to make the leaves of the flower. To do this, we will use a skewer stick to draw the leaves of the flower in the shape of a cross on a sheet of green EVA foam.
- Then, with the help of another skewer stick, we pierce the leaves in the center and set them aside.
- The stem is then placed inside the EVA foam petals with glue. When it is dry, add a little glue to the base of the petals and insert the leaves through the end of the stem until they stick to the rose.
- Finally we can glue some extra green EVA rubber sheet to the stem of the flower. Et voila! Don't they look cute?
