HOW TO MAKE THE DIY TISSUE PAPER FLOWER BOUQUET AND VASE
To make the flowers begin with a piece of tissue paper about 8×11. Fold the paper length wise like an accordion.
Carefully cut slits into the paper almost to the end. Leave 1/2 inch between cuts.
Beginning on one end wrap the cut paper around a popsicle stick.
Secure with a clear piece of tape.
Make a variety of colors for a beautiful bouquet that never needs water.
Of course we need a vase for our flowers! Start with a medium size glass mason jar. Cut small square and rectangle pieces of tissue paper. Prepare a small dish with glue thinned by a small amount of water (about a 5:1 ratio).
Holding a piece of tissue paper on the mason jar, brush the glue mixture on the tissue paper to make it stick. Add more tissue paper pieces in the same way until the mason jar is completely covered.
Let dry and and then add the flowers. Give to someone you love. Expect lots of hugs and kisses! Our flower bouquet is shown here with our Melted Crayon Flowers to created a mixed bouquet.
