Welcome! I want to share with you a really fun DIY Tissue Paper Flowers Tutorial. Many of you know that I went on a sponsored trip to Magnolia Market a while back in Waco Texas. That is where I got to meet Chip and Joanna Gaines! While there, I found this beautiful wall of paper flowers. As I was flying home, I used a napkin to recreate my version of this wall. This tissue paper flower diy can be for kids, adults, you can make giant tissue paper flowers, or small tissue paper flowers!
DIY Tissue Paper Flowers Tutorial
Keep in mind that this DIY tissue paper flowers tutorial is a bit different from others. I wanted to create something unique and beautiful. To get started you will need a list of supplies. I will include some affiliate product links. Janine over at Happy Happy Nester has a gorgeous and unique Magnolia paper flower tutorial.
Now let’s get started. I used pink tissue paper that was on hand. Then I added paint to my flowers to give them more texture and depth. Find the steps below. Magnolia Home paint is great and I did a review for it. Paper tissue flowers can really be used anytime of the year throughout your home.
Cut 2 sheets of tissue paper into strips, 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch strips. Now comes the fun part. Wrap the 2 inch strips of paper around the floral wire. Roll like photo above. Then grab your 3 inch strips and crumple a bit before wrapping around the base. Continue with 4 inch tissue paper. Finish off by wrapping wire around the base of the flower so that it stays tight. Complete with floral tape.
Brush paint on lightly. Then add more as desired. You can really get creative with colors and texture. Now to put these flowers into use, I created a gorgeous wreath! Here is some inspiration below on how I used these flowers in my home.
I will also share another video to get a bit more detail on how to make the flowers.
DIY Tissue Paper Flowers Tutorial
I added my DIY Tissue Paper Flowers to this beautiful Pottery Barn vase and faux olive leaf stems. Adding feathers and fresh heather from the garden create a layered look. You may find more Inspiration on my Instagram feed at HallstromHome.
I added one of our frames on the table to give it that shabby chic feel. I love bringing these flowers out for Spring and Summer, the best part is they never wilt! Let me see how your flowers turned out I would love to see them, so be sure to tag me in your posts!
If you want to have your flowers be displayed like Magnolia Markets, there are a couple things you need to do. It looks like they got their piece of wood they were going to use, then drilled little holes for each flower. After they drilled the holes they put glue in it, then placed the flower in. Finally they mounted the stick to the wall for the display. If you love Magnolia like me, I will share the products page I have! The products are so amazing and I want every single item!!
I know this is an older post now, but I couldn’t find where you mentioned how to add the paint for texture on these flowers? Do you paint the tissue paper first, then crumple, or paint the edges after you’ve created the flower. Thank you so much! These flowers are beautiful!
Hello! We paint these after we create the flowers.
These are so beautiful!!
Thank you Tanya!
Wow, these are so beautiful! I’ve always wanted to try making DIY Tissue Paper Flowers. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you! They are so fun and easy to make!
Hi Rhonda! Love the flowers! I need some help. I want to decorate 5 60″ round tables with paper flowers. I have never made these but I watched your tutorial so I think I can handle it. Here is where your ideas come in. How can I incorporate these paper flowers into an arrangement that is very inexpensive and gives some volume to the center of a 60″ round? I am making this for a group of people who are coming to my church to minister. I am in charge of feeding them, but I really wanted to make their table centerpiece scream of new life and your flowers do just that!! I have to make this before April 18th. Please help me with your thoughts!
One more thing…I had a thought of making a paper flower “tree” . I need to make one for each of the 5 tables that are 60″ round.
I would incorporate these paper flower stem in with some real or faux greenery to make the arrangement come alive. A simple babys breath may be nice or go more dramatic with green branches.
Hi,
I was wondering how to keep the “swag” together like the one pictured over the fireplace mantel?
Thanks,
Brenda
P.S. It is fabulous!!!
Hello,
It looks like they drilled a little hole into the large stick and glued in each little flower, then attached the large stick with flowers to the wall. I will upload more pictures to help understand.
Thanks
Rhonda
I’m trying to figure out how to make the pink flowers in the wall arrangement . The tutorials listed does not show those kind of flowers. Are they ranunculas?
And are they made with tissue paper or crepe paper?
This is so Beautiful!!! Please send me link for that specific arrangement!! Thank you so much !!!
Hi thanks so much for asking. Take a look at this link. I hope this helps
