• OK, so choose what color(s) of tissue paper you would like for your flower.

  I made mine all out of the same color to take the photos. But you could use 2-3 colors of pink tissue or do a rainbow selection of tissue paper colors. 
• You can make your flowers various sizes in diameter. Most of the ones in the pictures and those in the video are about 8-9 inches wide.  Cut your tissue paper width to the diameter size you want for your flower.

  For the 8-inch tissue paper flowers I used 12 layers of tissue paper. In the video multicolored flower that is 2 layers yellow (flower center), 8 layers red (flower petal color), and 2 layers of green (leaves).

Accordion fold the tissue paper with about 1 inch folds. Fold from the more narrow end of the tissue paper down the longer length.

Cut notches on each side of the folded tissue paper at the center point. This makes the next step easier and makes fluffing up the flower easier.

• Twist a pipe cleaner around the notched area and twist tightly. The pipe cleaner works as a stem for the flower.

  Note: In the pictures I tied the flowers with string. That works as well!
• Fan the tissue paper layers out and begin gently pulling the first layer upwards toward the center of the flower (away from the stem). Do this on both sides of the flower.

  Repeat this step until all the layers of tissue paper have been fluffed up.

  Fluff and shape to even out the flower.
