Giant Tissue Paper Flowers
Wow! These flowers are huge! Make them for decorations or to give as gifts.

You need:

8 Sheets 20" x 26" Tissue Paper
Green Pipe Cleaners
Wooden Skewer

Instructions:

Stack eight sheets of tissue paper neatly on top of each other. Accordion fold back and forth in 1" folds along the short side so you have a 1" x 20" bunch when finished. Cut the corners so you have rounded edges. Fold tissue bunch in half and twist the pipe cleaner tightly around the middle. Fan out the folds of tissue. Gently separate the sheets starting at the top and pull each sheet away from the group. Be gentle or it will rip. Shape the flower as you work layer by layer.

Wrap the pipe cleaner ends around the end of a skewer. Continue with additional pipe cleaners until the entire skewer is wrapped with green pipe cleaners.
