Tissue Paper Flowers

Petals : Cut out petals in the shape given in the picture. Around 10-12 pieces may be needed to make a flower.  

Creping the Flower :  
Tissue Paper can be creped either before or after the petals are cut. There are two ways of creping - one is the rolling method and other is the hand-kerchief method. 

Rolling Method : Wind each petal loosely on both sides over a wooden rod (or any other round object) and use your hands for pushing the paper (crush) from the ends towards the center. 

Handkerchief method : Cut the petal and fold in half lengthwise. Place it inside a handkerchief or other light material . Using the palm of one hand to hold the base of the petals, the cloth is pulled firmly away from the centre crease. As the tissue paper is light, it may tear easily. So keep several petals together while creping. 

Procedure: Wrap one petal tightly around the wire to make the flower center, then continue adding petals until the desired fullness is reached. Wire the base tightly to hold the petals in place.
