How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers: Step by step guide

Step 1: Cutting the tissue paper

If there’s a way to fold it, you can turn tissue into any paper flowers.
Autumn is a season filled with beautiful outdoor colors. Create this harvest backdrop with large tissue paper flowers to match the turning leaves and rich colored florals at the end of the harvest season. The backdrop is perfect for a fun autumn party.

Step 2: Create the accordion shape

If you prefer to have totally rounded out flowers, just use more tissue paper in longer pieces and pull both sides out towards the center working towards a middle piece in the fold that is your centerpiece. Or stick with the method above and attach two halfs of a paper flower together with twine or tape.
There are various flowers you can make out of paper. The flowers you make include but are not limited to:

Step 3: Folding

You can use paper flowers for several occasions or as a permanent decoration. Use them for:

Step 4: Rounding edges

Pull the folds apart and start to pull each layer of fold-out. Then send the outermost fold towards the center and carefully bring each layer out from there. Next, pull one fold from one side and then alternate to the other side and continue one until you have reached the last fold. Keep the last fold flat so that it will fit on a surface.

Step 5: Foldout

You can find most of these materials at the Dollar Tree or any retail craft store near you. 
Use big pieces of paper with several layers to create bigger flowers.
Paper flowers can make for an excellent decoration, from tissue paper pom poms to roses.
You can also use coffee filters, Kleenex, toilet paper, cardstock, pipe cleaners and crepe paper. 

Step 6: Attach the tissue paper flowers

Start by cutting your tissue paper sheets to the desired size. The width of the paper should be at least half the size of the length for unfolding. Use multiple sheets of paper- more for a more full flower (5-10 pieces) or less for a more delicate flower (4-5 pieces).

Use between 5 and 15 inch size tissue paper for flowers. The smaller size tissue paper makes smaller flowers.
