How to Make Flowers Made of Toilet Paper

3/01/2014

Toilet paper is a great medium to turn into folded craft items. It can be used to make lovely flower shapes that can brighten a bathroom for guests. These won't take you long to master and they can be used to decorate craft projects or placed on display in their own right.


Edit Steps



  1. Place 5 squares of toilet paper on top of each other. Align them as neatly as you can.





  2. Fold the paper into a fan shape. When folded, pinch the fan shape in the middle with your finger.





  3. Tie a bobble, pipe cleaner piece or elastic band around the middle. This will keep the fan in shape.





  4. Gently fluff out the pieces of paper. Since you have various layers of paper to play with, experiment to see what can be produced. With a bit of effort in shaping, you will form a lovely rose, or other imagined flower.





    • Pull with care. It is easy to tear toilet paper. You may need to try a few times before you get the hang of it.



  5. Keep fluffing and pulling until the desired design is formed.





  6. Repeat the process to make more. If you make a series of flowers, you could either use them as part of a craft project, or place them in a row for a pretty decoration. They work well attached to a wreath too.
