First I cut the blanks for the petals from some sheet 16 ga sheet metal. I used my Hobart plasma cutter. This would make a great mothers day gift.

This Painters Tape worked great as a template to layout the rose petals.

Welding gloves are important when using a plasma cutter. Also I use a 55 gal. drum on rollers to contain the sparks and slag. Some expanded metal as a grate, holds the rose petals in position.

Here you can see I cut out 3 of both sizes of the petals for this sheet metal rose.

After they were layered toghether, I slowly started bending up each petal rotating around the center. This Little torch like this worked great.

I kept working around until all the petals were shaped how I wanted them.

The slag from the plasma cutter left some rough edged on each piece that I cut. I think it adds texture to the rose and makes it look more realistic.
