A Quick Craft Project ~ Tissue Paper Flowers

Several weeks ago I purchased a few packages of tissue paper at Christmas Tree Shops to make some tissue paper flowers.  It had been something I wanted to do {having not done this type of craft since I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn}.  I finally found a minute to sit down and put these together.

I did a couple of pink ones for my craft/sewing room and I cut one with curved edges and one with pointy edges.  They make me think of the peonies and dahlias I had at my old house.

I made one the full size of the tissue paper sheets and one smaller by cutting a few inches off before doing the accordion folds.   I followed this tutorial from Imperfectly Beautiful {which also brings you to the Martha Stewart tutorial}.

Since the package also had some blue tissue paper, I decided to make one for my granddaughter’s room.  Blue is the accent color in her bedroom that I did a make-over on {here}, and I thought it would look cute hanging from a corner.

I stuck it in her stroller, which has to go back to their house, so it will remind me to bring the flower.  I did the blue one with the pointy ends, too.

Pretty and quick project, and with all the colors of tissue paper you can make them to go with any party/celebration theme or any room you choose to decorate with them.
