When I posted the word tissue flowers the other day - Darla sent me a comment thinking she had missed something. No - I just didn't put a very clear photo.
I thrift patterns all the time for the cover images. So I have this pile of patterns that I will never use.
Several blogs have posted these images of various tissue flowers and since this is the good old fashioned way of making them I don't feel like I am breaking any rules here by making these.
Using what I have........ AKA Stash diet.
Pattern tissue, bread ties (you know I save them), thirfted lace.
The traditional accordian folded tissue paper. I cut these approximately 6x5. There was no measuring - only the eyeballed method.
Instead of stapling them - because the staper was in the barn and it was cold - I tied these with bread ties.
Fan them out - tie a piece of lace to the wire and you get......
I like these - a lot.
I really like a cute little box of them.
So tell me - would this make you happy if it arrived at your desk????
Have a wonderful day.
I got no ball stuff tonight - how cool is that.

your photos of them are lovely teresa! and what a great idea...the color of the pattern sheets makes for a great looking flower.
makes me feel like making some right now...even though my stapler isn't in the barn, i may just use a bread tie anyway :)
Adorable! I like them best by the box full. Something looks so luxurious about them that way.

What a fun use for old pattern paper. How I wish I hadn't trashed so many of my mother's old patterns! Guess a crafter can never throw away anything. (Sure don't want Hubby to hear that notion. He thinks I collect too much "stuff" as it is.)
