Materials:

Equipment:
Instructions:
- Cut 2 long rectangles, one each from 2 contrasting colored sheets of tissue paper.
- Fold each rectangle like an accordion and trim the top in a scallop shape.
- Unfold your rectangles. There should be a line of many scallops along one edge of each piece of tissue paper. Cut about 2 inches into each scallop. This will help the “fluffing” process later on.
- Take the first color (for the center of the flower) and place the cylinder on top of the unfolded paper. Attach it with a piece of the tape.
- Roll the cylinder up in the tissue paper and attach it with more tape at the end.
- Repeat this process with the second color, rolling it right on top of the first one. Once both colors are rolled, fold in the ends of the bottom like a present and attach with one piece of double sided tape.
- Tie a 6 inch piece of string around the top of the tissue paper.
- Fold down the tissue and fluff it out to look like flower petals.
- Your simple wrapped flower is complete!
