This is also a great craft idea for kids too! They are easy enough for little hands to make and what we love is that each flower turns out unique. Kids can pick their own colors and create their own decorations!
Today we are sharing a Step-by-step tutorial to make your own flowers. These paper flowers have so many cute uses for decoration and parties. We decorated a colorful summer table with ours. I love how bright and festive it turned out!
I think this same table would look beautiful in the fall as well. You could even make them flowers for Valentine’s Day! Use a lot of reds, pinks, and purples.

You Will Need
- Tissue paper in various colors
- Scissors
- Stapler
- (Optional): Green pipe cleaner for a flower stem
Directions
- Cut Tissue paper into rectangles. To make it easy, simply cut the large sheet of tissue paper in halves until you end up with rectangles that are about 8″ x 4″. They do not have to be that exact size.
- Layer a stack of 6 pieces of rectangle tissue paper
- Fold the stack of tissue paper accordion style (as seen in the video!). Fold it over about 1″, flip it, and repeat until it is all folded. It doesn’t have to be the exact size or perfect. Every flower is different and unique!
- Staple the center of the folded tissue paper. If you want to add a stem to your paper flower, wrap a green pipe cleaner around the staple at this time.
- Using scissors, cut the edges into rounded “petal” shapes. You can also cut different shapes to make different styles of flowers.
- Gently pull each sheet of tissue paper up toward the staple and out of the accordion fold. I recommend alternating sides.
- Continue to fluff the tissue paper petals until the flower forms! Each flower comes to life in a unique way making them all look beautifully unique.
