Tissue Paper Flowers

 We needed some decorations for a party we're having, so we made these adorable tissue paper flowers. Here's a tutorial so you can make some of your own. They're really easy and they only take about five minutes.


First of all you want to get five pieces of tissue paper. They can be any color you want. I think it would be cool to use multiple colors. So anyway, lay the tissue paper on top of each other so that their edges line up. Then you want to fold it in half.

 After you're done with that you want to to an accordion fold going length wise. Do it to the whole length.

 After that you need to find the middle and wrap some wire around it.

 Then, starting on the inside you start pulling the tissue paper up. Fluff it a little and keep working outwards.

 It should start to look like this.

 And there you have it. The finished product. I was surprised at how short of time it took to make them. I also thought it would be a good idea to use tissue paper from presents. It's a fun and easy decoration idea, especially for parties. (I would suggest not making them for pool parties though.)

If you want you can make two and then connect them together to make a ball. Then you can put a ribbon in the middle and hang them up.

ps Sorry if you can't understand my tutorial. It's kind of hard to explain.
