This is a fun craft that can be used in so many ways. I have seen thease tissue paper flowers at birthday parties’ weddings and picnics too. The kids and I decided to make one for each of the grandmas to brighten their day. After we cut and folded the tissue paper flowers we sprayed each with a small amount of perfume to make them smell good too!

Tissue Paper Flower

The craft project below is perfect for little ones ages 2-6. 

Materials:

Tissue paper
Scissors
Pipe cleaners

1. Cut the tissue paper into rectangles about 5” X 8”.
2. Cut the ends of each rectangle using decorative scissors or allow your child to cut the ends in a design of their own.
3. Stack 6-8 sheets of tissue paper on top of each other making sure to alternate colors if you have more then one color to work with.
4. Gather the tissue paper in the middle of the rectangle and wrap the pipe cleaner around it.
5. Fluff and crinkle the “petals” of the flower up so that it fills in the flower.
