Three Color Tissue Paper Flower
A Three color tissue paper flower is easy to make and require very few craft supplies! They are perfect simple decorations for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and nurseries.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets tissue paper yellow
- 2 sheets tissue paper pink
- 2 sheets tissue paper green
Instructions
- Start with your two sheets of tissue paper in a single color, folded in half.
- Fold the paper in half again.
- Find the corner of your rectangle that has all of the separate corners of paper (not one with a fold). Take that corner and bring it across to form a triangle.
- Trim off the excess paper to create a right triangle.
- Find the edge with the fold and cut, so that all eight pieces of tissue paper are separate.
- Do this to all three colors. You will have eight squares each of red, yellow, and green.
- Stack the tissue paper in this order: two sheets of green on the bottom, four of red in the middle, and two of yellow on top.
- Fold the paper, accordion style. I usually get seven or so folds.
- Separate the layers.
- Re-accordion each layer, and cut the ends, creating different shapes. Cut triangles for the leaves, round for the petals, and fringe for the center.
- Open the layers back up and re-stack them in their original order.
- Pinch the accordion and staple in the middle.
- Fluff up the layers of the flower, starting with the yellow center.
- Repeat on the other side until your flower is completely fluffed.
