Things You'll Need:
- A box of kleenex tissues, string.
-
Step 1
First you open your box of kleenex and take out however many tissues you would like to make your flower. Then you unfold each tissue and lay it flat on the table. Probably would be best to start with about 10 tissues, because they are doubled.
-
Step 2
Fold in an accordian style, first one way, then the other way, and so on. hold it tight. Take a piece of string and tie around the center of your tissues. Tie it tight.
-
Step 3
Then stretch the two sides out a little bit. Very carefully starting with the top tissue start pulling each piece up towards the center. Do this with every piece. Do a little arranging and you have a pretty flower.You can use one color or mix colors. You can also get some stiff wire and wind around center of flower to stand them in a vase.

on 8/22/2009 I love making crafts! I used to do tissue paper flowers all the time as a kid! If you ever get sick of the flowers, just use them again by combining them with other paper products and making paper! :)

on 7/10/2009 Several years ago I tried once, I think it was like carnation, look genuine (because mine was untidy so more natural, ha ha ha)..hard to find colourful tissue paper nowdays. One day, I must try again. Thanks for sharing... 5*
