You will need:

  • Tissue Paper
  • Green Crepe Paper
  • Scrap Polystyrene
  • Pipecleaners

Instructions:

  1. For the flower – lay 9 sheets of tissue paper on top of each other.  Make concertina folds every 2 inches along the short edge of the tissue paper.  Wrap 3 pipecleaners around centre + twist to secure.
  2. Push some polystyrene onto pipecleaners to create stamens.
  3. Cut each end of the tissue paper into a triangle.  Gently unfold the first layer of tissue paper + continue with all the outer layers.
  4. You may want to staple together the edges of the outer layers.
  5. To make the lily pad – take a full pack of green crepe paper + concertina fold along the whole length.  Staple at one end + cut into a point at the other end.
