A Bright Spot - Tissue Flower Tutorial

More from my living room update! In the corner of my living room is my favorite piece of furniture of all time - a 1949 cabinet.  I found it at a yard dale for $40!!! I about fainted when she said the price.

Okay anywho, I needed a tall "something" to place on top and was coming up empty.  Then while browsing Martha Stewart's website I saw some wedding flowers made from tissue paper.  Brilliant!

So, I took some bright blue tissue paper and with an Easter bush in mind created this...

Not over the top but just enough "pop" to make it a perfect - and it looks great next to my new thrifted vintage hat box.

I loved the outcome!  It is so cheery and - bonus - I don't have to water them and they will never die=)

To create your own here is what you will need:
- Hot glue gun
- Tissue paper cut into small squares

-Branches

I first crumpled the squares of tissue paper to give it more depth

Then I flattened it out a little and grabbed the middle and "fluffed" out and up.

Add a little dab of hot glue (this is a little blurry because I was rushing to take the picture and get the flower on before it dried!)

And place on the branches...

repeat until your branch is full!

I also did little ones to look like buds=)

It was the perfect touch to my new fabulous living room.  Sigh...love!

Make your life beautiful!
