Tissue Paper Flower Crafts For Kids.
Round Tissue Paper Flower – This is one of the easiest tissue paper flower crafts out there! All you need is a bunch of colorful tissue papers in different shades, scissors or cutter knife, a glue stick (if desired), floral wire or elastic band (optional) & Yarn/Twine/Scraps Of Fabric(optional). Take 6-8 sheets of colorful tissue paper at once & cut them into 8 equal pieces each measuring approximately 4″x4″(10cmx10cm).
Fold each piece diagonally so that all four corners meet up with each other forming a triangle shape when unfolded again. (Make sure they don’t overlap) Join these triangles together by overlapping them at their corners shown above so that all 4 corners touch each other perfectly without leaving any gaps between them. (You can add some glue on the edges if needed but it isn’t required since we won’t be handling these pieces often anyways).
Now arrange 3-4 more layers over this layer till you get about 1 ½ inch thick wall all around it just below where you started folding from earlier(Don’t forget about adding one more layer around its top too!). Now start joining these layers into circles using a threading needle through two opposite points on either side. (For example: If the first pair we threaded through was BLUE POLKA DOTTED then now we should go back through RED POLKA DOTTED side.) Weave until the desired size has been reached which should look like something
Tissue Paper Lanterns
Tissue paper lanterns are a super easy craft that can be used to decorate your room, a party, or even just your next dinner party.
They’re great because they can be made in any color and they are perfect for all ages.
Materials
Tissue paper (in different colors)
Scissors
A pencil
Step 1 Draw or trace the shape onto the tissue paper by laying it over the top of something like an index card or piece of cardboard. You can add extra details if you want by cutting out shapes from other pieces of tissue paper and sticking them on top with glue!
Foil And Tissue Paper Doves
Step 1. Take a piece of foil and wrap it around the top edge of a pencil to create the bird body.
Step 2. Use tape to secure the foil to the back of your pencil, then cut it off at an angle so that your dove looks like it’s flying away from you.
Step 3. Cut out two wings from tissue paper that are slightly larger than your beak. Fold them in half lengthwise and punch holes along both sides using a hole punch tool or scissors. Slide one wing over each side of your dove’s body and twist ends together until they meet above its head (this will make sure they stay put).
Step 4. Cut out two eyes from construction paper with pinking shears or other cutting tools (to create points) and glue them onto either side of the foil beak using a hot glue gun or tape runner/glue stick if using white tissue paper as opposed to colored ones with glittery designs on them because you don’t want any shiny spots showing through when pressed against itself again later on during assembly process then set aside so we can move onto next step which involves painting our feet!
Tissue Paper Jellyfish
Let your imagination run wild! You can use a variety of colors, different sizes of tissue paper, and even different types.
Have fun with it. One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to use too much glue, because it will make the jellyfish too heavy for the toothpick to support it.
and then you’ve got an ugly mess on your hands!
Tissue Paper Bunny
- Print out the template for the bunny onto cardstock and cut it out.
- Use a glue stick to glue together all the pieces, then tack them to an egg carton in whatever configuration you prefer.
- Use another glue stick to add eyes and nose in between or on top of your paper pieces, depending on what kind of look you want your bunny to have!
Tissue Paper Collage Butterfly
Gather a variety of colors of tissue paper, about 1 ½” square, and lay them side by side to match the number you want to use.
Mix a glue stick and brush it over the top of the tissue paper to create one sheet.
Fold over the edges and glue in place. Use scissors to cut around each butterfly wing shape (you can fold some of your pieces in half if they are too long).
Using a hole punch makes “eye” shapes for each butterfly wing and “antennae” shapes for each antenna.
Use another hole punch on random spots along with several wings so that they look like body parts when stacked together!
Tissue Paper Candle Holder
- Materials. Tissue Paper, Scissors, Glue, Candle, Wax
- Instructions.
- Cut a square from your tissue paper that is large enough to wrap around the candle and secure it with a small piece of tape.
- Fold up one edge of the square so that it’s even with the top of your candle holder (making sure the edges line up on all sides). Tape this down along its length if necessary to keep it in place.
Wrap both sides of your tissue paper around the base of your candle holder so that they overlap slightly at each end;
secure with glue or tape if necessary to keep them in place while you finish shaping them into a cylinder form around the bottom half-inch or so of your candle holder’s circumference (being careful not to cover any part where the wax will drip out).
Cut off any excess material from these ends once you’re done shaping them into cylinders using scissors or kitchen shears if necessary–this will help avoid accidentally catching fire later when lighting up!
