Tissue paper flowers arranged into bouquets hanging from the ceiling are always a fascinating eye-catcher. Learn here how easy to make the flowers.
Craft with tissue paper
The paper flowers pompons in our decoration example have a size of about 25 cm to 40 cm.
Cut from the tissue paper per flower: 12 sheets of 20 x 25 cm or for the larger flowers 18 sheets of 30 x 40 cm.
Place the sheets on top of each other and as a rectangle in landscape format in front of you. Cut the edges to contours: with zigzag, in the shape of an arc or according to your personal taste to other edges.
Now fold the stack of leaves in accordion shape until you have only a narrow strip of paper in front of you. Tie it tightly in the middle with a piece of warp yarn, feel free to leave the thread a little longer, it will help you later when tying the bouquet.
Carefully pull the layers of paper apart, layer by layer, to create a fluffy flower. Finally, glue a ranunculus flower head in the center - the first silk flower is ready.
Craft more tissue paper flowers according to this principle. You can vary the size of the flowers by using smaller or larger sheets of tissue paper. However, these should always be rectangular (square sizes would make spheres).
Arrange the tissue paper flowers pompoms with warp yarn threads into a decorative bouquet and hang it up.
