An efficient way to cut and fold your paper for creating tissue paper flowers.
I found a few shortcuts to cutting the paper for your tissue paper flowers.
1. Measure off 2″ x 3 1/2″ size rectangle with a ruler and pencil.
2. Next, fold the paper in 3 1/2 installments and proceed to fold the whole sheet as shown.
3. Cut on all the folds. You should have a couple strips of paper that are 3 1/2″ in width.
4. Next measure off 2″ on your strips of paper and draw a line. Then fold the whole sheet like pictured above.
5. Then line up all your papers in a stack and place your folded sheet on top as a template. Now, cut on the folds.
6. All your papers now should be ready to go and be folded in the next step.

I can’t believe that I can definitely do it. Looks hard when you see the flowers on the base but I was surprised that it is just a pile of pink tissue that was crumpled.

I am totally in love with your cherry blossoms. Is there any other thing that could be used instead of the green Leaf Ribbon? I’ll surely try this
happyhappynester says
You could possibly just make a little green leaf with either construction paper or green tissue paper? Let me know how it comes out! Thanks for the visit and comment!
