Mother’s Day is coming up and I know my girls are busy doing Mother’s Day crafts at school. They are very tight-lipped about what they’re making, but as always I look forward to their handmade Mother’s Day gifts. Another thing I look forward to on Mother’s Day is getting flowers. I love flowers. What I don’t love is how quickly they die. 
That’s why I thought handmade tissue paper flowers would make great a great Mother’s Day craft. A handmade flower that never dies! Perfect!
Here’s What You Need to Make Tissue Paper Flowers
- Pastel colored tissue paper
- Chenille stem
- Scissors
- Ruler
Here’s How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers:
1. Cut tissue paper into 5″ x 7″ rectangles. If you want a multi-colored flower, cut rectangles from different colored tissue paper.
2. Stack 4-6 tissue paper rectangles. Either 4-6 of the same color or different colors.
3. Fold the tissue paper from the long side like an accordion or fan.
4. Wrap one end of the chenille stem around the middle of the accordion pleated tissue paper.
5. Carefully separate each layer by gently pulling towards the middle of the flower.
This tissue paper flowers are quick, easy and a whole bouquet is much cheaper than a dozen roses!
