Tips To Create Paper Flowers
by Darryyl W Whitezgh
Tissue paper flowers are among the easiest decorations to create and have many uses. It is also a great past time for children making use of brightly colored paper and exercising creativity in shape and design. It also serves as a beautiful looking decoration for events or personal use and can be made within a number of quick and easy steps.
The material that you will need to create these decorations include tissue paper, pipe cleaners or flexible wire and scissors. You may include additional items such as glitter or ribbon for truly unique creations. The first step to creating your flower is to lay the tissue paper in a variety of desired colors on top of each other on a flat surface with all the corners and creases aligned as close as possible.
Using the scissors measure rectangles of between 5 to 6 inches and cut these in stacks of 6 to 8 layers. If you wish bigger and fuller flowers then be sure to cut according to such requirements. Be sure to stack the material so that every corner and every crease will be in alignment and begin to fold in terms of an accordion style.
Once you have mastered the accordion folding style it will be easier to cut the stack if you gently wrap the wire around the fold. Take the scissors and cut the end into a point that is representative of a triangle. There is the choice to cut the desired trim before folding however; this a little bit tricky and may result in uneven edges.
Proceed to fold the stack in half and where the center is identified wrap the wire or piping around this area. The folded edges will be used to create the petals and from the folded stack the edges need to be pulled out from the center in a gentle manner to create a fan effect. Petals will resemble a flower once all of the layers have been successfully pulled out.
Keep pulling the edges out very slowly until you notice that the flower is starting to form. Here the pipe cleaner or the floral wiring used will assist in the creation of the stem. Continue to pull on the edges in an upward motion until the desired length and shape is achieved.
Creative aspects include the placement of shiny objects such as glittery buttons in the center of the flower for a more realistic appearance. Glitter may be added to the petals by gently placing glue on the material and sprinkling over. The creation of tissue paper flowers may be a great idea for the holidays and is certainly a craft for the entire family.
