Tissue Paper Flowers

Cut a number of pieces of tissue paper into a square.

The larger the square, the larger the flower will be.

Begin to accordian fold the papers all together. The folds should be around 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Flower2

Fold the entire paper (see image on left).

Fold the accordian paper in half (see image on right).

Flower5

Twist the pipe cleaner around the paper to hold the folds in place.

Cut a curve or a point on each end of the folded paper.

This is an optional step. It will give the flower the look of petals.

Flower7

Open the folded paper out (see image on left).

Pull up the first sheet of tissue paper. Pull very carefully since tissue paper tears easily. Especially remind kids of this.

Pull up each layer of paper until you have fluffed the entire flower.
