How to Creat Tissue Roses Facial Tissue in color desired for flowers Unfold tissue and fold in half in opposit direction of oirginal folds. Starting at narrow edge, pleat in 1/2 inch accordion pleats. Wind a small rubber band tightly at center to hold pleat in place. To make scalloped, ragged edges on petals tear off folded edges OR use pinking shears. Shape the flower by seperating EACH single layer of tissue all the way down to the rubber band. Fluff and shape each layer, working always all around the flower from the outside to the inside. To add a realiztic touch, tuck a sprig of leaf or green in the rubber band.
