  Step 1

  Cut your tissue paper into small rectangles. I found that one large piece of tissue paper equaled two flowers.

  Step 2

  Fold your paper accordion style.

• 

  Step 3

  Take the floral stem and wrap it around the middle of your paper accordion. Pinch the wire flat with pliers.

  Step 4

  Next, cut rounded edges on the ends of the accordion. You could also make triangle shaped edges, depending on what style of flower you're going for.

  Step 5

  Carefully pull each layer of paper up, starting in the middle.

  Step 6

  BONUS STEP!

  To stain your flowers, mix together liquid food coloring & water. The more food coloring you use, the stronger your color will be. Using a brush, lightly dab the mixture onto your flower. Don't saturate the paper entirely, just a light coat. If you want to go darker, wait until your flower is dry to apply more color. My final flowers were used with about a cup of water with four drops of yellow food coloring mixed in.
