Flower power - simple folded paper flower tutorial

It's our turn to host the New Year's Eve party so it was thinking caps on for simple, but effective decorations. With the conservatory still adorned with tissue paper flowers and snowflakes left over from Babypuddleduck's Frozen Party, that was my starting point. I made some smaller tissue paper flowers and attached them to dowels so I could place them in vases, but I wanted to mix it up a bit so created some folded paper flowers. And they're so simple as this tutorial shows but please ask if I've missed anything or it's unclear. 

Folded Paper Flower Tutorial







Leave a gap between the fold in the centre of your strip and the start of the double-sided tape as you will need to thread the wire through when the flower is fully formed. 


  

By now all four edges should be attached to make the fully formed flower.
