-
Step 1Cut your tissue paper into small rectangles. I found that one large piece of tissue paper equaled two flowers.
-
Step 2Fold your paper accordion style.
-
Step 3Take the floral stem and wrap it around the middle of your paper accordion. Pinch the wire flat with pliers.
-
Step 4Next, cut rounded edges on the ends of the accordion. You could also make triangle shaped edges, depending on what style of flower you're going for.
-
Step 5Carefully pull each layer of paper up, starting in the middle.
-
Step 6BONUS STEP!
To stain your flowers, mix together liquid food coloring & water. The more food coloring you use, the stronger your color will be. Using a brush, lightly dab the mixture onto your flower. Don't saturate the paper entirely, just a light coat. If you want to go darker, wait until your flower is dry to apply more color. My final flowers were used with about a cup of water with four drops of yellow food coloring mixed in.
