How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers

Floral· Home Decor· Wedding & Bridal Shower Decorations

Spring is in the air and today we’ve got a fun project to share with you. We’re showing you how to make tissue paper flowers! These DIY tissue paper flowers are not only pretty but are also super simple and fun to make. They are such a fun afternoon craft!

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to learn how to make tissue paper flowers:ClickLinks1

  • Assorted Tissue Paper
  • Green Floral Stem Wire
  • Green Floral Tape
  • Craft Scissors

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-2For this how to make tissue paper flowers tutorial, you’ll start by selecting various colors of tissue paper and stacking them together. I chose various shades of pinks, peaches, and white. Press the wrinkles out of the tissue paper the best you can and line them up. You’ll use a ruler or measuring tape to measure out your flowers and cut into a square.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-3The size of your finished flowers will be determined by the size of your square. These flowers were cut in 8 x 8 inch squares and ended up being about 4 inches in diameter.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-4After the tissue papers are cut, you’ll stack them together tightly. Starting with one end, you’ll fold the tissue paper over about 3/4-1 inch.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-5Continue accordion folding the tissue paper back and forth to the end of the square.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-6Stack together tightly and start trimming each end of the tissue paper bundle with rounded corners to create a peony flower.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-7You can create different styles of flowers based on how you trim the ends. (For example, trim the edges in a triangle shape to create a dahlia flower.)

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-8Next you’ll start wrapping the tissue paper with floral wire. Place the wire in the center of folded tissue paper and twist one edge to secure. Fold the tissue paper up and start pulling the layers gently to “fluff” your flower.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-9To add in some leaves, you’ll use green tissue paper cut into leaf shapes.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-10Wrap the leaves around the floral wire and secure with floral tape.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-11Now all you have to do is arrange the flowers and leaves together to create a beautiful arrangement.

How-to-Make-Tissue-Paper-Flowers-Crafts-Unleashed-12We hope you enjoyed learning how to make tissue paper flowers! These flowers are perfect for home decor, parties, showers, and other celebrations too. Here is another tutorial you may enjoy on how to make paper flowers out of crepe paper.

      Hi Jerry, It looks like around 8 layers of tissue were used for each flower.

    I love the sensitivity of this bouquet! I bet that they would also look “sweet” on a vine wreath. Being practical, and knowing that they are a paper source, they would probably be a lovely look to a bedroom!
    Just loved them. Thanks for sharing!
