Tissue Paper Flowers

Another springtime decor craft is to make tissue paper flowers. They are easy to make and can range from simple to “almost real” with your desire. You will need:

•White or Assorted Colored Tissue Papers
•Green Chenille Stems (pipe cleaners)
•Green Construction or Crepe Paper
•2 Round Jar or Plastic Lids (one smaller than the other)
•White or Clear Craft Glue
•Scissors
•Pencil
•Big Sewing Needle or Sharp Poking Tool

Then follow the simple steps for assembling your tissue paper flower. First, make the flower petals by tracing the circle lids onto tissue paper. You will need to make 8 total circle layers for your flower: 4 big circles and 4 smaller circles. After you have cut out all the circles, place the smaller circles on top of the larger ones. Second step is to pierce a hole through the middle of the circles and then push the pipe cleaner through the holes and twist the two ends of the pipe cleaner together. Third, you will arrange the flower. Crunch each piece of the circular paper and make it look like a carnation flower. Last step will be to draw flower leaves and attach them to the stem, making your papers flower look real. This is a great way to add a little color to any room in the house and make your house look ready for springtime.

Many springtime decor crafts can be made with a few simple objects in your home. Springtime decor crafts don’t have to be expensive and shouldn’t cost you too much money to buy the necessary supplies.
