Materials:
- crepe paper (you can use tissue paper, but I think crepe paper looks much better)
- floral wire stems
- scissors
Mexican tissue paper flower tutorial:
- Make a stack of anywhere from four (for smaller flowers) to eight squarish sheets of crepe paper. My flowers in the photo were made with 6 or 8 layers, and from a roll of crepe paper, 150 x 50cm, I created two nice sized flowers. The bouquets in the photos were each made from six flowers.
- Very important: Take note of the grain of the crepe paper, and make sure that all the pieces in your stack have the grain running the same way.
- Turn the stack of crepe paper such that the grain is running horizontally, left to right. Why? Because other wise you may end up with a very floppy looking flower, especially if you use the thin crepe paper that I used. I threw out a bunch before I realized this important tip!
- Begin folding the stack accordion style
- Wrap a piece of floral wire around the center and twist to secure
- Cut petal shapes at each end of the folded piece, see my diagram here
- Open the accordion, and start very gently pulling the layers up towards the center to shape the flower
- Play a bit with the layers to get a nice shape, and voila!
