World's Easiest Tissue Flowers
First, you'll need a container of some sort (I used a milk glass planter from the Goodwill), a piece of styrofoam (mine was leftover packing material from something or other) and some sticks. I bought mine from Michael's a while back using a coupon and then just cut them to the length I wanted. You could scavenge them from your yard even, if you had access to good sticks. I've seen them spray painted white too and that looks really nice as well. I left mine as is for the color contrast. Finally, you'll need some colored tissue paper.
Cut a bunch of squares. They don't have to be perfect, but the flowers do look better if they're closer to squares than rectangles. You'll need two per flower.
Take a little piece of scotch tape (I tore mine in half lengthwise to make it narrower), wrap it once around the flower's base, then use the rest to stick the flower to your branch. Simply repeat for the rest of the flowers until you're done!
