I will be tangling with the art of paper flower making!!! (insert dramatic music)
Tools needed:
1) Two pieces of tissue paper
2) Scissors
3) Stapler
Now before I take you through the steps I thought I should show you what the final product should look like.

So lets begin!
Step 1: Fold your two sheets of tissue paper in half twice.

Step 2:Find the corner of the tissue papers with all the separated pieces and fold it to the opposite edge to make a triangle.

Step 3: Take your scissors and cut off the extra paper that forms a rectangle.

Step 4: Open the triangle up so it then turns into a square. Take your scissors and cut the fold so you end up with 8 separate squares.

Step 5: Fold paper accordion style and try to end up with at least seven or eight folds.

Step 6: Staple the center of the accordion folded paper.

Step 7: Cut the edges of the paper to begin the process of petal making. (I cut mine with a curved edge)

Step 8: Start to carefully separate the layers and fluff them up to start creating your final product.

Step 9: Show off you final product that you worked really hard on to your family.
