How to Make Flowers Using Paper Napkins
Making flowers from paper napkins can be very classy if it is done correctly. They make great decorations for a baby shower, bridal shower and many other events. If you can’t find the right tissue paper and don’t want to spend the money for it, using paper napkins can give you the same result.
Things you need:
- Pipe cleaners
- Paper napkins in various colors
- Unfold four to six napkins to create small flowers. Use six to 10 napkins to make large flowers. You will then lay each napkin flat and put the next one on top. This will keep them stacked evenly.
- Take the bottom edge of the napkins and fold it up an inch. You will then turn the stack over and do it again. Keep turning the napkins over and folding them in an accordion type manner.
- Take the seams and press them gently using your hand. You will hold the napkins down as you slide a pipe cleaner under them. Next you will adjust the pipe cleaner in the center with 1/3 of the cleaner above the napkin and 2/3 under them.
- Take the short end of the pipe cleaner and fold it over. You will then twist it around the long end. Be sure the pipe cleaner is on tight enough to pinch the napkins in the center. Next pull each layer of the napkin up toward the center of the pipe cleaner. This will create petals until the flower is complete. At this point, the flowers are ready to go.
