Centerpiece with Flowers Silk Paper - DIY - Tissue Paper Flowers Centerpiece

Hi I'm Claudia, from hazregalos.blogspot.com blog. Today, as you can see, I'm here with these beautiful centerpieces. They are based on giant flowers that we've done before. I'm leaving you the video here if you have not seen, so you can remember how to do them. These flowers are for decorating, especially at a party. I've thought it for birthdays, christenings, communions. There are very nice to decorate, hanging from the ceiling, or to decorate the room where you have the party. So I thought about these centerpieces to decorate the tables. The flowers are the same, anyway let's make one a to remember, are slightly smaller. And the idea is that you can put several of these on the table, you can even put one in front of each guest, and if you will put a card with a photo, the child's name from the party, You can even serve as a detail, so that each guest will take home their gift. They are really beautiful, original, and easy to make. These that I have prepared myself are in pink and white, but you can make it in other colors. Now let's make one in blue for a kids party. The idea is that it is easy and fast, because surely you're going to have to do more. I'll show you which are the materials we need. We will need: 2 sheets of tissue paper, of the sheet size, and the color of the flower. And a piece of tissue paper in green. We will use for the potted, cardboard rolls, We'll cut it in half. We will also use sticks. These sticks you can buy it painted or not. We're going to split it in half, we will use 7. I've got it in assorted colors, they're very good. Also you can buy it without color, and paint them of color you want. We will use a stick. These sticks are what you get when you eat at a Chinese restaurant. They come in different colors, I've used one in dark brown. Then we need paper scissors, and a scissors a bit stronger to cut the sticks. An eraser and a pencil. This is basically all you'll use. And of course our hot glue gun, that we will use to build the pot. We then start making the flower. Like I said, I leave you the video, so you can remember how to do the flower. The flower can be made in the size you want. We will do this one a little bit smaller. We are folding the sheets. Are two tissue paper. We fold them in half and let's cut them. And going back to cut it in half. We are going to have 8 sheets. The largest flower I showed you to do, had 12, 14, 16 sheets. As this is smaller, It's ok with 8 Let's start making the folds. We're going to fold it like an accordion, a fan. The fold will be smaller, of 0.5 cm, more or less. We turned to one side and then the other, in this way until finish all the paper. Note that I fold in a way that left me the long side to fold. When we have it bent, let's tie it. We're going to fold it in half, to see just the half, and with any type of thread or yarn, let's tie it. A piece of ordinary wire, it serves any color. I'm going to use a piece of blue thread I have here. If you have a fine thread you can also use. I had forgotten to mention this in the materials. We will tie strong, because this, when we open the flower, you're going to have enough strength to do it, then this is for the flower doesn't breaks. We try to make it right in the center, and we tie it. Now we begin to open the flower. Note that, the flower has eight leaves, then we will open up the first four of up, and then the other side. This is just going separating the leaves carefully to prevent breakage. The last two leaves, which are leaves that remain more in the center, we open it. Then you crease it a bit so that the flower looks right But notice that already, there's the flower. Right?. Very good. So now what we do is the pot. Like I said, let's cut the cardboard in half. We will use this piece. And we do a base to this cardboard. Let's take a piece of cardboard, slightly larger than the diameter of the roll. We mark around it, and what we will do is make small cuts, with scissors, all around, Notice that I have made it already, then go folding it, and we will stick it, just with a tape, for remain to us the basis of the roll. There it is, with its base. Like I said, it doesn't looks pretty, but now we are going to cover it. Here are the sticks that are cut in half. We need seven and a half. These sticks are cut easily with a sharp scissors. Now we'll just start pasting. We put it with the rounded side up. For the latter one we will cut one piece crosswise. While cutting it this way, be careful not to break it, because sometimes the veins that brings the same wood makes you break it. We already have our pot over. Now we have to get off all the threads, that we always get around of it. And I'll show you how we're going to put it, the stick. First, in the flower we choose the most beautiful side of the flower, for the top Here we will put some silicone, and we're gonna introduce the stick. And now we are going to stick in the center of the pot, for let it right there. We have to hold it a few minutes, Lets cut it, this way with the hand, some bits, this also will give stability to the stick, to the trunk, which is the tree we are doing. Look how beautiful is all blue, in light blue. Putting the pieces wrinkled, makes sure that the trunk are not going to move. The ones I've prepared, I've prepared it a couple of days ago, and they are perfect. Well, once you have filled the pot, we're going to put a few pieces of the same paper cut into thin strips. And it's ready. Look how fast we did it, and they are very easy to make. We have here one for children, two for girls in pink. Hope you like the idea, I think they are very pretty. They may look great on the tables. It's an idea that I hope you put it into practice and tell me about it, If you did it for a fellowship, for a christening, a birthday ... Well, this is my idea for today, and I'll wait for your comments. See you in the next.
