- Determine the size of your flower by choosing the width of the tissue paper strips. For a dense, full look, opt for smaller circles (around 50mm in diameter).
- Layer approximately 10 sheets of tissue paper, combining the two chosen colors.
- Using your circular template, trace and cut out circles from the tissue paper.
Assembling the Flower
- Take a stack of the cut tissue circles and use an awl or the tip of your scissors to make two small holes in the center, about 5mm apart.
- Cut a 15 cm length of wire for each set of tissue circles.
- Fold the wire in half and thread it through the holes in the tissue paper circles.
- Gently separate and fluff each layer of tissue paper to create the petal effect.
Finishing Touches
- Create a loop at the end of the wire stem using a pen or similar tool, which will be used to attach the satin ribbon.
- Determine the desired hanging length of your flower and cut the satin ribbon accordingly, ensuring you have a little extra for adjustments.
- Attach the ribbon to the wire loop, securing it with a knot or small braid.
- Trim any excess wire, leaving a short stem.
