Holy Cow! These are so beautiful! im making a bunch of them in layered rainbow colors to hang in the trees in our yard for my daughters rainbow party. Thanks so much for making this tutorial. its the best ive seen of any DIY tissue decorations. Unique and stunning!
Thank you! Two years ago I used this design for a Brooklyn Botanic Garden Cherry Blossom festival, in a performers'/VIP reception area. Made 36 of them and they were gorgeous! The guests and performers were asking for them afterwards. It made for an easy cleanup! My only fear was them going to waste! Some still hang on office doors, only need a little fluffing, now and again.! I spring on those lids when I see them!
I would make these with plastic tablecloths. I use that instead of tissue paper for hanging poms. Weatherproof and very durable! Can’t wait to make these for my granddaughter’s wedding reception!
Stick THAT on your prom dress! ;) Love this idea--would be great for so many different things--fashion shows, store displays, classrooms, stage props--thanks for being so creative and inspiring!
I love you! The flowers are soooooooooo beautiful! I have become so addicted to making flowers and I love to see the expressions on peoples faces when you give them a handcrafted flower. Thank you for this idea.
Nashville Wraps paper is a nice big format and high quality compared to dollar store paper. But I've used both with success. Good luck with your project!
Certainly. Simply experiment. Adjust the size and number of sheets in the petals. You can also do a four-petal flower instead of five. The plastic base comes in various sizes. Look in the supermarket or at stores like Party City. Good luck!
That is so cool! I once thought of putting goldfish bowls with a couple of fish in the center of each flower, and have them lighted somehow... I'm sure your Concepts teacher will be blown away by your project.
Krystamichelle, you can buy the trays (lids actually) new at a place like Party City, or you can get one when you buy a big party tray of cookies, cut veggies, cold cuts or cheeses at the super market.
how did you make the multicolored flowers at 3:00 on the lower left of the screen? also can you cut down the sheets to like 5 per pedal? 7 is a lott of paper
Margaret T Please scroll down through the comments to find answers to your questions. Yes, you can cut down sheets to make more or fewer or smaller sheets. You can also trim the edge with different shapes for different effects.
I love these flowers! I am going to make some for a graduation party. I wanted to know how to make the center a different color, but I see someone else already asked. Did you use 20 x 26 or a different size paper? Your flowers seem to fill the container better than mine. Gorgeous flowers! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! I'm wondering about the lavender/purple flower shown in the photos. I don't see dark purple tissue paper in the petals, but it is in the center. What would I have to do different for similar results? Thank you!
This is just what I needed!!! My final project for my Composition Concepts class involves scale/perspective so I'm making 5 flowers with gradated colors. (dark pink, light pink, peach and then black, dark blue, light blue) I also have a small maybe 7 inch bird cage with a couple fake birds in it. Not quite sure how to incorporate it yet though. Anyways... THANK YOU!!! ^_^
Me encanta todo lo que veo,lo que hacen,,,,,,estoy enamorada de todos estos preciosos trabajos. Que vivan las artes manuales. Desde Colombia un saludo cariñoso y un fuerte abrazo!!!!
To make a flower with a different-colored center, make the giant flower as shown in my video. Then make 6 small flowers in the color of your choice. (Use a stack of about 6 sheets of 8" square paper, accordion pleated, paper-clipped at the center and with the layers pulled up.) Assemble the giant flower as shown in my video, then hot glue the small flowers right on top of the center of the giant flower. This way, the alternate-colored center will look nice and full.
love the the giant flowers. I want to make the purple one with different colored center, how did you do those. Can't wait to make formy granddaughters room!
please tell me what do you do with the flowers you made long back? i always face such problems even my crafts they get dust n are kept at a side, feels bad 😢
Not sure if you were still looking for the answer, but it just looked like the artist layered different colored paper in a pattern for the two toned petals. I was also thinking you could just carefully spray paint the "inside part" (stamen) of the flower for a different color there. It'll probably make it look much more realistic. Hope that helps! :)

Hi rosasshortest, to make a giant tissue paper flower with a different-colored center, make the giant flower as shown in my video. Then make 6 small flowers in the color of your choice. Each small flower is made out of a stack of about 6 sheets of 8" square paper, accordion pleated, paper-clipped at the center and with the layers pulled up. The video Learn How to Make Paper Flowers gives the general idea.

Hi Peggy, the lids are leftover from supermarket trays of cookies, cheeses, etc. You can also get them at stores like Party City.
BEAUTIFUL! I am definitely going to try to make these for my daughter's birthday! Thanks
Best art teacher there is right here. Thanks Felicia!
LOL! That would be a bold dress design. Cool ideas.
I love how it didn't take forever to see how she made this awesome flower!!!
Thank you. I like my how-to videos to be speedy, too.
I love this.. I have been looking for simple ways to make a front yard full of poppies for my Wizard of Oz Party. I will be making these for sure.
That is so cool! I once thought of putting goldfish bowls with a couple of fish in the center of each flower, and have them lighted somehow... I'm sure your Concepts teacher will be blown away by your project.
WOW!! Speechless!! These are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Love this tried it with the all white and it is spectacular!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video- Easy yet fun, pretty and creative idea, and presented in such a clear, easy to watch way.

So gorgeous, and surprisingly elegant! Thank you for sharing! :)
Good luck with the tea party! You're going to get a lot of compliments.
This is gorgeous!!! So good! May I ask you how did you hide the plastic base?
Thank you! The width of the bottom petals hides it
Can't wait to get started thanks for sharing your masterpieces
Beautiful! I'm wondering about the lavender/purple flower shown in the photos. I don't see dark purple tissue paper in the petals, but it is in the center. What would I have to do different for similar results?

Lucky graduate! All my big flower petals were made from 20 x 26 paper: five big fluffy petals per 18" plastic base. Have a great party.

I couldn't find the information on the the two tone flower
