How-To: Tissue Paper Flower

I made a bunch of these flowers to decorate for our mother's day program and add to the take home goodies for the kids!



















First, cut out rectangles in the color you want the flowers to be.  I free handed all of these, they were all different widths and lengths and all the petals came out the same!















Next, you'll need to find something round.   The example I saw used a golf ball.  I used half a plastic easter egg, because that's what we had lying around!
















Place the easter egg in the middle of the rectangle and twist the tissue paper around tightly.  Twist both sides.










Remove the easter egg and your petal is shaped!

















Next, fold one of the stems down and trim the other.

















Piece the petals together and tape the stems together at the bottom.














Next, cut a small square of yellow tissue paper.

Fold the square twice and twist the folded corner.  Dab some glue on the twist and insert into middle of flower.  I snipped at the yellow piece with scissors to add depth.


















Finally, I cut a square of green tissue paper to be the stem.  I covered it with glue stick and wrapped around the bottom, twisting at the end.
