How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers

These beautiful flowers can add some zing to a tired gift bag or replace the usual bow on a wrapped package. If you would like to get creative you can attach a pipe cleaner to the flower and add it to a vase. Now you have a beautiful paper flower arrangement for any table.

Materials: Tissue Paper (any color you wish), scissors, ruler, pen, and tape.

Step One: You need about four layers of 10×5 tissue paper.

Step Two: Lay the tissue paper flat and fold it like an accordion. Note: This is similar to making paper fans. The folds should be about an inch wide.

Step Three: Once you have folded the tissue paper, put a piece of tape, or rubber band in the middle.

Step Four: Cut the very ends of the tissue into round, pointy, or square edges.

Step Five: Connect the two ends of the tissue paper by taping it where the two ends meet. If you taped the ends together it should resemble a circle.

Step Six: Lift the first layer of tissue paper up towards the middle of the flower, separating it from the other layers. Continue to pull each layer up towards the center. You should have a tissue paper flower!
