Wall Flowers

I saw on a tutorial how to make paper/napkin flowers on the MADE blog. It looked so easy I had to try! And it is so easy I made 3 giant flowers. Here's how you do it!

I was using tissue paper cause that's what I had; on the blog they used giant napkins. First get 4 giant papers and one slightly smaller for the middle. The smaller one will be the middle color of your flower so its fun to do a different colors or design. I cut up the edges on the middle sheet first before folding it will make it much easier.

Then fold all the papers together like you would a fan. Then tie a string around the middle to hold it together. I used a twisty tie for baggies. You could use anything really.

Cut the ends in a curve. That will really finish the flower.

Then flare out each sheet and your flower will end up something like this!

If you curve the edges like this it makes the flower like a little more like a paper flower. But still really cute.


I tied them all together and hung them on the wall. They really are giant flowers! I didn't think they would be so big but they are really cute. I was thinking they would look cute in my nieces bedroom or in my future sewing room! ;) (can't wait by the way)
