1. Stack two or three squares of tissue paper on top of each other on a flat work surface.
2. Either cut these into different sizes or use the squares of the same size.

4. Now is the time to wrap the green florist tape around the pipe cleaner.
1. Start by wrapping the tape several times around the base of the flower. As you wrap going down ward the tape ideally covers 2/3 to 1/2 of the last laid layer of tape.
2. Gently pull open the tissue paper to make the bloom open.
5. Encourage experimentation by stacking two tissue colours together.

2.  using the markers to colour the petals.
1. flick a little water on the petals then hang the flower upside down in order to dry.
3. Using a very light spray spray the petals from a distance.
