WRAPPING TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS


What you'll need:

  • Pastel colored tissue paper
  • Chenille stem
  • Scissors
  • Ruler

How to make it:

  1. Cut tissue paper into rectangles of desired size (5"x7" is the size pictured - see photo).
  2. Stack around 6 pieces of tissue paper. Use the same color or different colors. If you want a really full flower use up to 15 pieces. For the poppies that I created with Peyton here,  use alternating pieces of red and hot pink with a black piece on top. For the blue flower use alternating blue colors with a hot pink 2nd to the top and a black on top (cut the pink and black pieces smaller 3"x3").
  3. Accordion pleat the tissue paper working from the long side.
  4. Wind one end of the pipe cleaner (chenille stem) around the middle of the accordion pleated tissue paper.
  5. Optional: Trim the ends of each side to give the pedals a unique look. Trimming the ends into a point (like a triangle), or a bump (like a half circle) will look very pretty.
  6. Gently separate each layer (see photo) pulling upwards toward the middle of the flower. (See photo). Do the second side. (See photo).
  7. Let the children make a couple of flowers and put them in a basket or put them in a vase to display. Remember it's suppose to fun!
