First, I cut a standard sheet of tissue paper into 6 equal portions. Then, I accordion folded the sections and rounded the ends, to help make the petals.
The instructions I found said to use floral wire for the stem, but I used a coordinating drinking straw because it seemed way more practical, and I already had them. Next, you can either cut the section in half and wrap the petals around the straw, or you can cut a hole in the center of the paper and then scrunch and fold the petals around the straw. I did a little bit of both.
& or
Tape the petals to the straw in layers until you get the look that you want.
Then, trim between the petals to separate them.
And voila!
You're probably wondering why I am spending my time making tissue paper flowers. Well, you'll just have to stay tuned to find out!
