Pretty paper flowers are gorgeous all year round and make a whimsical and casual centrepiece.
You will need:
Tissue paper in various colours
Pencil or pen
Green Pipe cleaners
Scissors
Directions:
- Cut your tissue paper into equal-sized squares. Stack the squares on top of each other. Use at least 4 (preferably more) sheets of tissue paper for a full, pretty effect.
- Fold your squares in half to form a rectangle shape and in half again to form a square. With your scissors, cut deep V shapes into the top of the tissue papers.
- Open the papers up and lay flat. Shift the flowers slightly so that they don’t all line up.
- With your pencil or pen, poke two holes in the centre of the tissue paper cut outs about half a centimetre apart. String the green pipe cleaner underneath and through one hole and then over top and down through the other. Twist the pipe cleaners together to make a stem.
- Alterations: You can fold your tissue paper accordion style for further texture.
