Making Your Own Flowers

It’s great to collect roses at the Park from Cinnamon (and one from the Webkinz Newz), but how about making some flowers of your very own? It’s easy!

What you need:

Tissue paper, green pipe cleaner, scissors

What you do:

1. Cut six rectangles of tissue paper (about 6 inches by 3 inches).

2. Stack the rectangles and fold them like an accordion.

3. Fold the stack in half. Twist the top part of the pipe cleaner around the stack.

4. Cut a little bit off the end of each side (this will give the leaves shape).
5. Gently pull apart the tissue paper and fluff up the flower.
6. Add a leaf to the stem, if you like. You can also spritz your flower with perfume to make it smell sweet!

    Here’s some advise: Don’t put perfume on the flowers unless you are giving them to somebody right then. Otherwise you can’t smell the perfume very well.

    I found that if you wrap the stem around the top a pencil and leave it on, it makes an ADORABLE pencil topper. By the way, football girl is my sister. We are having a ball making these.

    Hey Jule, if you don’t have pipe cleaners, you could somehow stick them onto the end of a pencil. I might try that myself…

    I love these! Me and my sister are going to make some for our Grandma who has cancer and is going through radiation right now. A word of advise: Don’t make the tissue paper to small. I did and I can hardly separate the pieces! :-)
