Tissue paper flowers are easy to make and are perfect for any occasion.

Supplies:
tissue paper sheets, any color
pipe cleaners
scissors
Steps:
Stack all of the needed tissue sheets neatly together. (I made medium sized flowers so I cut my sheets in half.)
Medium Flower: To make a medium sized flower you will need 2-3 full sheets of tissue paper. Cut them in half lengthwise, then stack the halves together.
Large Flowers: To make a large sized flower you will need 4-6 full sheets of tissue paper.
Starting at one end fold the tissue over about 1 inch. Then flip the tissue over and fold again, continue folding the tissue accordion style.
Fold a pipe cleaner in half, set it over the folded tissue, and then twist the two ends together. Using scissors round off the ends of the tissue.

Now gently begin separating the layer of tissue, pulling each layer towards the middle, and covering the folded edge of the pipe cleaner.
Once all of the layers are separated, fluff them to form the flower. Use the ends of the pipe cleaner to attach the flower to whatever you want.
These vases were made from empty drinkable yogurt containers. Any size container works well. The flowers are made from tissue paper and coffee filters.

Do you know that you can make flowers out of tissue paper without doing complicated folds? In this project I used a cheap toilet paper roll, but I suggest you choose the thicker type of tissue paper and it would look prettier if mixed with different colors.
