I (Jessica) have been obsessed with the idea of paper flowers for months now...they seem to be the latest trend in DIY, and for good reason. At a recent craft night, we tackled two versions of the paper flower, and they turned out beautifully!
You can store them pretty easily, so you can use them multiple times! They might get a little crumpled, but you just need to take them out and fluff them up.
what you need:
tissue paper in various colors
scissors
wire or pipe cleaners
cut your tissue paper into 10" squares (you can make the squares any size, depending on what size flowers you want; we learned that squares work best)
carefully select 6 squares of tissue paper
line them up
starting from the bottom, fold up accordion-style in about 1" folds
once it's all folded up, fold the accordion in half
fold a piece of wire over the middle
cut the ends of your tissue paper into either triangle or circular shape
you can also cut fringe into the ends to create different looks
starting from the top layer of tissue paper, start pulling the tissue away one layer at a time
fluff it all the way out and you're done!
we made a mountain of flowers, and they have already been used at multiple events.
happy crafting!
