Tissue Flowers for your Hair

Thanks to all the viewers who sent in versions of how to make tissue flowers!

Make one of these flowers and tie to a bobby pin or beret for your hair.  Or make a whole bouquet and give to a friend.  Squirt with a bit of perfume so they really smell!

I've listed these from easiest to hardest

Version 1

  Take 3 to 6 square pieces of tissue paper.

Stack on top of each other

tie in the center with a string and tie to a bobby pin (or wrap with a pipe cleaner to make a bouquet)

Version 2

  Take 4 strips of tissue paper 8 inches by 16 inches.

Accordian fold (fan fold)

tie in the center with a string and tie to a bobby pin (or wrap with a pipe cleaner to make a bouquet)

Pull apart the layers and fluff to shape

Version 3

Take napkins and cut in half lengthwise (so they're rectangles)

Pull apart the layers (they usually have 2 layers for each napkin)

Stack 15 layers

Accordian fold (fan fold)

tie in the center with a string and tie to a bobby pin (or wrap with a pipe cleaner to make a bouquet)

Carefully pull apart the layers and fluff to shape
