tissue paper flowers

 Last week I was at my friend Beth's house for a coffee and treats.  I was taking a looksie about her house when I saw these adorable tissue paper flowers hanging from her daughters ceiling in her room.  She gave some simple instructions and I came home that night and made them!  They are so simple and cheap to make....I took some pictures to give you a step by step on how to do them.  

 First of all I got 3 packages of tissue paper different colors to match my daughters' room.  I took about 8 sheets of one color and fan folded them.  Imagine if you are looking at a rectangle...the shorter side is where you start folding, long sides of tissue should be on the sides.

 Secured them with a paper clip. 

I cut about 4-5 inches off the end and then cut both ends with a V.  You could also do a curved end. 

 Carefully pull apart each individual piece of tissue paper.  Making a flower as you go. 

 I then attached fishing line to the paperclip and hung them up.  Literally took me about 12 minutes to make them all, and about $5!!
