Quick craft--tissue paper flowers edition

Even the least crafty of Moms can do this one.

You'll need:

.ribbon

.tissue paper

.scissors

Take a stack of 8 sheets of tissue paper (whatever color you want. You can even do a stack of rainbow colors if you want to get crazy) cut in a rectangle . The rectangle can be whatever size you want to cut it. The bigger the rectangle, the bigger the flower. Generally, I size I use is 1/2 the size of a regular 8.5x11. Fold the short end of the rectangle like a fan with about 1/2 inch sections. When the entire length is folded up, take a piece of ribbon (again, however long you want it to be. If you use a longer piece of ribbon, you can tie the flower around things like your banister or refrigerator door or your kids arm like a corsage) and tie it securely around the middle. Pull each piece of the tissue paper gently toward the middle where you have tied it with ribbon. Keep doing this until you have a cute little flower.

Sorry for the lack of pictures. I meant to take more while I was making the flowers and promptly forgot.
