#1 Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin your tissue paper rose project, make sure you have all of the supplies you need. You will need tissue paper in the desired color, scissors, floral tape, a pencil, and green florist wire or pipe cleaners. You can find all of these items at craft stores or online.
#2 Cut the Tissue Paper
Once you have gathered your supplies, it’s time to begin cutting the tissue paper. You will need to cut four pieces of tissue paper. Cut two pieces into rectangles that measure 6” by 8” and two pieces that measure 4” by 8”. Set the smaller pieces aside as you will use them for the leaves later.
#3 Stack and Fold the Tissue Paper
Take the two larger pieces of tissue paper and stack them on top of each other. Then, fold the tissue paper in an accordion-like style by folding it back and forth. Make sure the folds are even throughout.
#4 Cut the Folds
Once you have finished folding the tissue paper, use your scissors to cut the ends into a curved shape. This will help create the petals of your rose. Making sure to leave the center uncut.
#5 Open the Accordion
Now it’s time to open up the accordion and separate the two pieces of tissue paper. You should now have two pieces of tissue paper with curved edges.
#6 Form the Petals
Take one of the pieces of tissue paper and hold it so that the curved edges are facing up. Then, gently pull the edges of the tissue paper towards the center. You should now have a beautiful rose shape.
#7 Secure the Petals
Take your floral tape and wrap it around the center of the rose to secure the petals. Make sure to wrap it tightly so that the petals will stay in place.
#8 Add the Leaves
Now it’s time to add the leaves to your rose. Take the two smaller pieces of tissue paper you cut earlier and fold them in half lengthwise. Then, draw a leaf shape onto one of the pieces and cut it out. Use the other piece as a template and cut out a second leaf.
#9 Attach the Leaves
Take your green florist wire or pipe cleaners and cut two pieces that measure approximately 4” each. Then, attach the leaves to the wires and wrap the wire around the stem of the rose.
#10 Attach the Stem
Take your pencil and wrap the floral tape around it. This will create a stem for your rose. Then, attach the stem to the rose and secure it with the floral tape.
