How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers

The key to making these already amazing flowers even more so is to play around with the colors you’re planning to use. Make sure to layer the petals with different shades and hues for the best possible outcome.

Step 1

The first order of business is to pick out your tissue papers and what color(s) you want them to be. You will be placing them over each other, effectively stacking them and aligning them.

So, feel free to experiment and play around with the color at this juncture. Also, remember that the more layers you add, the thicker the stack and the fluffier or more lush the flowers turn out.

Step 2

Once you’ve aligned all the layers of tissue paper, grab one end of the entire stack and start folding inwards. You’ll want to fold the sheets like you would fold paper to make a fan, which means you want an evenly corrugated shape, as seen here.

Go ahead and fold all your stack into these fan-like structures.

Step 3

The next step is to grab a bit of thread and tie it around the middle of the folded sheets.

Tie all the different stacks you’ve folded in the same way.

Step 4

Grab a pair of scissors and cut the edges of each stack. You can get a little creative with this step, actually. Depending on how you cut the paper, your flowers will take on different shapes when you unfurl the paper.

For example, you can cut the stacks in a tapering V, a curved U, or even into stripped ends, as seen below.

Step 5

Then, carefully and gently grab the ends of the paper and unravel or pull the ends open.

Spread every single layer and individual paper petal out and separate them from the stack.

If you’ve used different colors of tissue paper, you’ll probably want to unfurl them in accordance with the order you stacked them so that your tissue will retain the color pattern you intended to create.

Step 6

This is what the top half of the flower will look like when you’ve managed to pull apart every single sheet.

Now, repeat the same for the bottom half. You’ll want to create a fluffy ball-like shape, as you can see. That’s pretty much it for this project. Tweak your tissue paper petals a little, give it a little fluff, and you’re all set!
