Making Tissue Paper Puffy Flowers

Supplies:

• tissue paper, 2 colours
• scissors
• small Styrofoam ball or ping pong ball
• glue stick
• thin bendable wire

Steps:

1. Cut your 2 colours of tissue paper. The flower petal dimensions should be about 10" by 4.5" and you will need 5 pieces. The pistil dimensions should be 10" by 1" and you will need 4 pieces.

2. Place the ball at one end of a petal paper and twist the end shut.

 
3. Add a bit of glue and twist it a bit more.

 
4. Fold the 2 flaps outward so it's neatly creased.

 
5. Now twist the paper on the other side of the ball so it's like a piece of wrapped candy.

8. Take a strip of the pistil paper and twist it into itself tightly.

 
9. Repeat to make a total of 4.
