Easy Tissue Paper Flowers

Life, Lifestyle · April 16, 2014 · 5 Comments

Last week I posted on Instagram that I wanted to quit my day job and make paper flowers with Judy all day. I still kind of do, because these little paper puffs make my heart so happy. I know, I know, it’s Wedding Wednesday, but because every bride loves a little DIY (am I right?), I figured I could sub in this quick tutorial today. As I was prepping for a friend’s baby shower, I decided these giant tissue paper flowers would really add a little oomph to the decor. Problem is, I wasn’t prepared to pay for them when I knew darn well you could make them pretty easily! A little You-Tube and Google later, I have arrived at the best possible solution–97 cents per flower.

Easy Tissue Paper Flowers

You Will Need:
6 sheets of the same color tissue paper, per flower
**as luck would have it, this is typically how many pieces are in one package
1 two inch piece of twine/string, per flower
scissors

Step 1:
Lay the tissue paper sheets out flat on the ground.

Step 2:
Begin folding the paper accordion-style in about 1 inch sections. Be sure to flip it over after every fold, so that it is truly like an accordion 🙂

 Step 3:
Have your assistant check to make sure things are progressing correctly.

Step 4:
Tie your twine/string in the center of the folded paper. This doesn’t have to be perfect, just tight.

Step 5:
Fold the paper bundle in half and crease along twine/string line.

Step 6:
Cut off the corners on the non-folded edge to create your rounded edges AKA petals. The more you cut off, the smaller your flower will turn out.

Step 7:
The fun part! Carefully begin pulling each sheet of tissue paper out from one another. Slowly, your flower will begin to take shape. Fluff as necessary and voila! 🙂
