Step: 1

For each flower, cut four pieces of tissue, 4 1/2 - inches x 10 - inches.

Step: 2

Layer the tissue. Starting at one short end, accordion fold the layers of tissue, making pleats about 3/4 - inches wide.

Step: 3

After the tissue has been pleated, round off the corners at each end of the pleated tissue to create a rounded petal shape.

Step: 4

At the center of tissue, cut a small "v" shape from the accordion folds toward the center of the tissue. Repeat
for the side directly opposite.

Step: 5

Wrap a green chenille stem around the notched center of the tissue and twist off to secure.

Step: 6

Carefully open out the pleated accordion folds at each side of the chenille stem.

Step: 7

Carefully open each layer of tissue, bringing each layer toward the center.

Step: 8

Insert the chenille stem of tissue flowers into floral foam, or gather flowers into a bundle, then place them in a vase or pot.

Step: 9

Creative Options: The chenille stems can also be twisted around a rolled napkin to make a napkin ring, or
trimmed off if the tissue flower is to be used as a corsage or hair ornament.
