Tissue paper flowers

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

I made these long ago. There are two kinds of them. The first kind can be made using instructions from

I tried different looks for these flowers. The orange flower had the edges trimmed to get a look of carnation. The yellow is not trimmed at all.


For making the second kind, I took the tissues. I laid them on a table. And I placed a circular ring on it to draw a circle. For this I used the tape roll. Then I cut the circles. From 1 tissue paper I got four circles because I didn't open the tissue paper. I used it in its normal form with four folds. By repeating this on several tissue papers, I got a lot of circles.
      Now, I took one circle and pinched it at the center holding the pinched part down. Then I took another circle pinched at the center and placed it next to the first one. They are held at the center which faces down and the edges of the circle are kind of folded and very close to each other. I repeated this process for about 15 to 20 circles holding the pinched parts all the time (It can be more depending on your choice), never letting them go. This way of arrangement slowly shapes up like petals. At the end, I used a tape and wrapped it around the pinched part that I have been holding since the beginning. I wrapped really tight and made sure that the circles were not coming off the flower. I made several flowers in the same way. Here's the finished look.
