Okay, who's ready for another tutorial? If you look back to the post about Kate's Room Makeover, you 'll notice you can only see one corner of the room. You might be wondering what's going on in the entire other half of the bedroom. Well..this is one of the projects I just finished to help decorate the room. I thought I'd share it with you! The entire project costed $3. Yuppers, another Dollar Store project. I love these things! ANYWAY.....here we go!
YOU WILL NEED:
*Tissue Paper (8-10 sheets per flower)
*Pliable wire or craft pipe cleaners
*scissors
Lay out your tissue paper in a stack. You can make it different sizes for different size flowers. The paper I'm showing is actually HALF sheets of tissue paper. It makes a medium size flower.
Now, fold your paper accordion/fan style about 1-1 1/2 inches wide
Now, find the middle of your strip and wrap your wire or pipe cleaner around the center. Twist it a few times and cut off the extra.
Now, round the edges by cutting with your scissors.
Fan it out...
And carefully pull up the layers.
Once you have all the layers pulled out, (front and back) fluff it up and round it out to your liking!
I made a bunch of them (in about half an hour) and tacked them to the ceiling with white thumbtacks and fishing line! I also hung up some paper lanterns (also found at Dollar Tree for $1 each). And that's it! I love how they turned out!
You can also use these for birthday party decorations. I used a version of them in Kate's 1 year birthday party...which I blogged about HERE. It's the same party with the mess free pinata.
Have Fun!!!

LOVE! Thanks for the tutorial! :)
Seeing this post brought back some wonderful memories for me ... we made a truck load of these for the work place some years ago ... great fun working with them.
These are so pretty! I thought they would be harder to make too. I may have to make some for my sons party next month...
