Large tissue paper flowers

I wanted to make a focal point in my daughter's room (as well as decorations for an upcoming birthday party), so I decided to make some 24" wide tissue flowers to hang.  These look more like pom poms or peonies depending on how you trim the edges.  I used full 20" x 30" pieces of tissue paper from a 20 piece package.





1.Accordion fold the paper approximately 3/8″ – 1/2″ per fold
2.Fold the wire or ribbon over the middle and twist. I left the ribbon long so it can be hung from the ceiling.
3. I then trimmed the edged to be rounded in a semi-circle or into triangle points.
4.Puff flowers. Gently pull apart the pieces of tissue and make it pretty.

You can also attach smaller  pom poms onto a ball or wreath form for decorations for your next event. How sweet would these be at a baby shower?
