Tissue Paper Carnations

.

Aren't these tissue paper carnations beautiful? When I saw the subject of the Flower Week: Tissue Paper Carnations tutorial on my new favorite blog, Folding Trees, I thought they were going to be the carnations made with Kleenex folded accordion style, then fluffed out. I love these made of tissue paper - especially the delicate coloring on the edges. June finishes them off with wrapping the pipe cleaner stems with floral tape, which I think makes a big difference.

I have only begun to explore every inch of that website. Wow.

Ohhh, I used to make those of Kleenex when I was a kid! I'd love to try it with tissue paper. They're so pretty.

A whole flood of great memories just came rushing back to me! I would make these when I was a little girl with my Nana. Boy, I miss my Nana. We would hold them together with bobby pins! : )

They are lovely.
Best,
