Now, we can start creating our hanging flowers for our baby shower. The process is simple if you just follow these simple steps.
First, choose the colors of tissue you want to make your flowers, the number of sheets you use for each flower will determine how thick or large your flower will be when completed. Baby shower flowers could be done in pink, blue, yellow or light green according to the babies gender.
The next step is to lay your paper out straight and even with one sheet on top of another sheet. You will fold the paper up in accordion style; starting from the short end. Make the folds about 1/2 inches to an inch wide, but they do not have to be exact.
By now you should have a long strip folded, and the ends are ready for trimming. The way you trim the ends will determine how your petals will look on your flower. By just trimming the corners off you can have rounded petals, or what about having an especially girlish look by using pinking shears to make it look lacier.
Next, you will need to find the middle of your strip. To do this, just fold your strip in half, and you can make a little snip on each side of the middle fold. Just don’t cut all the way across your paper strip. Taking your ribbon or a pipe cleaner, you will wrap it around the tissue paper where you made the snips in the middle.
After you have tied your ribbon or pipe cleaner, you will need to unfold the tissue paper. This is done one layer at a time carefully separating each piece by pulling the layers up to form petals.
These flowers make beautiful baby shower decorations when hung from banners or as a garland. The edges of the flowers can be decorated with glitter to give them a party look. Your next baby shower can be extra special with these hanging tissue paper flowers.
