Pick one
tissue and fold it back and forth. It should
be like a paper fan or and accordion fold.
For smaller flowers, cut the folded tissue into two pieces
each about 4 inches long. Put the two pieces on top of
each other.
Use a piece of thread and tie it tightly in the middle.
Separate the layers of the tissue and fluff it into a flower
shape.
Ideas and Hints
If you only have single ply facial tissue, stack two or three
tissues on top of each other before starting step one.
Use colored tissue to make colorful flowers.
Use water color paint to create the coloring shown in the
pictures. The coloring should be very watery to get the
blending shown in the picture by the instructions. Use a
paint brush to dab the paint on the edge of the tissue and let
the water absorb to spread the color along the petals.
Use thicker paint to get the more defined colors shown in the
picture below. Use a paint and dab the paint where you
want it.
If you don't have watercolor paint, try food coloring.
Be careful as it could stain counters or work surfaces.
Use glitter glue to add some sparkle to the flowers.
