Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Different Colors of Tissue Paper
• Pipe Cleaners
• Small Rubber Band (optional)
• Tape (optional)

1. Grab several sheets of tissue paper. The more sheets you use the more elaborate your flower will become.

2. Set the papers on the table and fold into zig-zags.

3. Cut the ends of the paper into 1/2 inch strips. Be careful not to cut too far. If you have cut too far, you can try to tape the pieces back together.

4. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the center of the tissue paper roll. If you don't have pipe cleaners, you can use the small rubber band to secure the paper in place. If you cut too far, you may be able to wrap the pipe cleaner around the pieces. You may want to tape the pieces or use the rubber band to make sure that it doesn't come apart.

5. Unfold the paper and spread out your petals for a one of kind tissue paper flower.

6. Make even more flowers for a beautiful bouquet. You can even put these in a decorative vase or jar.
