How do you make tissue paper flowers?
Try making these Tissue Paper Flowers – a Mexican craft- for Cinco de Mayo. • Lay each sheet of tissue paper neatly one on top of the other, making sure that the ends, sides, and creases meet.[if they are not exact it is ok] • Fold the combined sheets of tissue paper accordion style, making sure each fold is about 1 inch wide. • Fold the sheets in half, end to end. • Take the green wire, lay it on the end of the tissue paper and leave a little on the top of the wire to wrap around. • Then holding together you staple the wire to the tissue paper of the accordion you have just made with the tissue paper, making sure that you leave enough of it • Fold down the wire to make it the stem and twist. Starting with the top or bottom, fan out the tissue paper so that no sheets are stuck together, being careful not to tear it. Repeat this step with the other sheets until you have a light, fluffy flower. If needed, straighten out the petals one part at a time.
