Making tissue paper flowers is an addicting craft project, and once you make one tissue paper flower you will want to make entire bouquets in every color of the rainbow to give to family, friends, and to decorate your home.

Supplies Needed

To make beautiful tissue paper flowers you will need tissue paper in a variety of colors, craft wire, wire cutters, scissors, and ½ inch wide florist tape. You might also consider using decorative edge craft scissors to cut out the tissue paper flower petals and leaves. Decorative edges can make flowers appear even more attractive and realistic.

Flower Types

Before beginning, consider the types of tissue paper flowers you want to make. If you aren’t knowledgeable in flower varieties or the proper shapes of flower petals and leaves, consult online photos of flowers or consult flower books. Tissue paper daffodils, tulips, and roses are some of the easiest and most beautiful tissue paper flower varieties to make. Use your imagination and don’t be too particular. Many of the most beautiful flowers in nature don’t have the most perfect petals or leaves, and tissue paper flowers are no exception. Make up your own flower variety if you wish, and use your favorite tissue paper colors or colors that compliment your home decor. Tissue paper flowers are beautiful no matter the color or variety.

Procedure

An easy method of cutting out tissue paper petals is by folding over a sheet of tissue paper and cutting out a few petals simultaneously. This will provide tissue paper flower petals that are uniform in size and shape, and the process will go faster.
