Equipment

  • Scissors

Materials

  • Tissue paper
  • String twine or wire

Instructions

  • Cut your tissue paper in descending sizes.
  • This flower was made from 4 sheets of the darkest pink in a 10 inch square, which made a 7" flower.
  • Layer 3 sheets of a lighter pink paper slightly smaller in width than the dark pink on top.
  • Repeat with 3 sheets of white, and 2 sheets of yellow, each one a little smaller than the one beneath.
  • You can change the order or the colors to suit your needs or preferences.
  • Fold the layers like a fan.
  • Tie the layers together with a piece of string in the middle, on the back side, with enough material to tie the flower to the main garland string.
  • Use scissors to give the flower a rounded petal look by trimming the edges to a rounded point.
  • Pull each piece of tissue paper toward the center, starting on one side.
  • Continue with the other side.
  • Make as many in the same size, or different size flowers, to fill your garland.
  • Tie them on to one long piece of twine, ribbon or string at equal intervals.
