Tissue paper flower branch

Material

Walnut
Cotton thread
Tissue paper – 5 piece of pink colour(width – 8 cm, Height – 10 cm)
Tissue paper – Yellow thin strip – 1 (30 cm)
Scissor
Copper wire
Green flower tape for stem

Steps

1 – Place the walnut in centre. Notice the shape of walnut, It is like an acorn.

2 – Wrap the tissue paper like a toffee 🙂 . Be gentle,  while wrapping , the paper at the ends might tear out.

3 – Pop up the walnut from the wrapping, smooth walnut hard shell helps in doing the same. Yay ! your first petal is ready.

4 –  Repeat step 2 and 3 for rest of 4 piece of pink tissue. Scuff the yellow strip between your hands and create the stem pollen as seen in the picture.

5 – Place the wire in middle of the pollen thin strips and fold to opposite end.

6 – Twist the wire till the end. At end you will have something like below

7 – Arrange all the five flower petals around the pollens.Cover the remaining copper wire with green tape .

On stem wire of length 45 cm I have arranged 2 five petal and 6 three petal flowers to create following flower stick. If you don’t have stem wire you can pick up any dried branch from your yard or use any wire available to you.

Where to use them

– Decoration
– Gift packaging
– Christmas tree decoration
– Paper flower bouquets
– Inexpensive hair band for kid’s birthday party (when decorated around wire !)

Be creative and share arranging these beautiful flowers in your ways.

Happy crafting !
