Open tissue paper, lay the same color on top of each piece, cut in half (I used the fold line as my guide), place the cut pieces on top of the other side.
Fold like a fan in a back and forth motion.
Fold in half to find the center, wrap a long piece of wire around the center of the fold.
BEFORE SPREADING THE PIECES decide if you want the ends cut. There are three options in this design. 1. Straight 2. Pointed 3. Fringed
FOR THE STRAIGHT OPTION: Leave the end alone and fluff the flower
FOR THE POINTED OPTION: While the flower is still folded cut one side pointing towards the center of the fold (see photo).
FOR THE FRINGED OPTION: Spread the flower out (still with layers together) flat. Use a 5 blade pair of scissors to cut little strips (see photo).
Separate each piece of tissue paper pulling to the center all around the flower (see photo).
Now your ready to attach the flower to a fun noodle and add a face!
