A couple of awesome tissue paper projects for you today!

First up, Jennifer shows us how to make beautiful paper flower centerpieces!

Supplies needed:

1. Crepe paper sheets (not rolls)
2. Thick floral wire
3. thin floral wire
4. Floral tape (optional)
5. Scissors
6. Scotch tape
7. Pencils

Instructions:

Cut your sheets of crepe paper into 1/3 or 1/4 depending on how full you want your flowers to be. Once it is cut to size, shape your sheet.

Unwrap the sheet and you have a long sheet of paper. I cut it in half, to then form two flowers. Take a pencil or pen for shaping and round one “petal” in, roll the next out, alternating how you roll the petals.

I like to tape the edge of the paper to the wire for extra security. Then you scrunch the paper.

Wrap the thin floral wire around the base of the flower and partially down the stem.

Wrap wires with floral tape.

Viola! Flowers!
