Tissue Paper Flowers

These are large roses which can be made very quickly and easily. They can be made more attractive using two colours such as light yellow and orange or any dark and light shades. 

Flowers : Cut out two long strips preferably from different coloured tissue paper. Make deep scallops, on the edges with scissors. Then wind the two strips together  around a piece of thick stem wire and glue it in place. Roll tightly at the center, then more loosely toward the outer folds. Gather the base and secure with spool wire, then wind floral tape or strips of crepe paper over the stem.  For small roses, cut narrow strips and make scallops or cut folded paper in scallops, unfold, and wind, gathering at the base.
