DIY Tissue Paper Flower

最近迷戀上花朵。

這是我以前不曾去注意的東西。大概去年的時候見家婆時看見她家種植許多盆栽，走近細細觀察發現花朵其實很漂亮。讓我想起我媽媽也是喜歡種植各種花朵和蔬菜的人，家裏後面種了辣椒、青蔥等。我媽很喜歡蘭花（orchid），但每次種都不開花（應該有成功的幾次吧）。現在院子僅有的小草地已被凝土給填補變成泊車的地方了，大自然讓位給建築。

有了顔色繽紛的紙花點綴，家裏頓時變得柔和許多。而且紙花不會枯萎，買花的錢可以省下一些了。

Materials

Color tissue paper

Instructions

Cut tissue paper into squares.

Stack tissue paper squares and fold accordian style.

Wrap a cloth stem wire around the center of the folded paper and twist to secure. Make sure your top/interior petal colors are facing up.

Cut edges as desired.

Unfold one side of the flower and carefully separate the layers of paper.

Repeat on the other side and fluff the petals to fill in any empty spots.

Display in a vase, on the wall or wrap a bunch of stems together to make a bouquet.
