How To Make Tissue Paper Flowers:
You will be surprised how easy it is to make your own tissue paper flowers. Here is how to make flowers out of tissue paper in just 5 simple steps.
1. The first step is to choose between 5 and 8 sheets of tissue paper and stack them evenly on top of each other. More than 8 tissue paper sheets will be too thick to cut, and fewer than five pieces of tissue paper won’t be as full. Use different colors of tissue paper if you want each each layer of your beautiful flower to have a different color. Another fun idea is to use yellow as your top layer or two for the center of the flower and then use one other color for the other layers to create a pretty tea rose kind of look.
2. Fold the stack of tissue paper into an accordion.
3. Wrap some floral wire around the center of the accordion fold to hold it together. Trim the wire with wire cutters once it is secure.
4. Decide if you want your easy tissue paper pom poms to have rounded or pointy flower petals. These different shapes can give the petal shape quite a different look. Hold the accordion together at the ends and trim them to create your desired petal.
5. Spread the accordion out like a fan and begin peeling the layers of tissue paper apart until you have a beautiful, full flower. That is how to make tissue flowers!
6. You now have a beautiful tissue paper flower which will make a great decoration for your room or event.
