Tissue Roses

A couple of weeks ago for the Faith In God activity, Sister Trace taught all the activity girls from church how to make flowers out of Kleenex and tissue wrap. I thought they were so pretty and they almost look like real flowers.

Here's how to make them...
You basically need at least four pieces of Kleenex, tissue wrap, and pipe cleaners. You can mix in four pieces of different colored tissue paper to add color. You lay them all out in different ways and put your index finger in the center of the paper, and wrap the pipe cleaner around the stub of where your finger was inside the tissue paper. (Sorry, I have no tutorial for this so just do the best that you can.)

In each tissue there are two layers, pull apart the layers and then fluff them out to make them look like a real flower. Lexie sure had fun making these.

What a cute craft idea! I would accept these flowers any day...and the best part is...they'll last a lifetime!
