7. Tissue Paper Dahlia
Materials: Tissue paper, scissors, floral wire, tape, and optional markers.
Cut tissue paper into squares of approximately 4×4 inches. Stack 8–10 squares and fold them accordion-style. Tie the center with floral wire. Round the corners and gently pull each layer outward to create the petal effect of a dahlia. Optionally, color the edges with markers to add depth and dimension.
Dahlias have a layered appearance, making them visually complex and decorative. They are great for centerpieces, hanging decorations, or seasonal displays. Using gradient colors or blending multiple shades of tissue paper can enhance their natural beauty. The key is to pull the petals carefully to achieve fullness without tearing the paper.
