We’re back with another tissue paper flower idea for you! In this post we’ll show you how to make simple paper roses, they look really good bunched together or you could use some fancy paper to make a single rose for someone special!
You will need:
- Tissue paper (or other lightweight paper)
- Pipe cleaners
Step 1.
Start with rectangles of tissue paper, ours were about 20 x 15 cm
Step 2.
Work with one sheet of paper at a time and fold over the long side, leaving a gap around 2-3 cm at the bottom. You can also gently scrunch the paper up a little for a bit more texture if you like.
Step 3.
Hold the folded edge in your fingertips and roll the paper around in a loose spiral.
Step 4.
Pinch the other end together and twist it to secure the flower.
Step 5.
Wrap one end of a pipe cleaner around the bit you just twisted, leave the rest untwisted for the stem of the rose.
Step 6.
Make some more and then pop them in a jar or vase or tie them up with a ribbon. Have fun and don’t forget to show us how you get on!
