Let's Get Started
STEP 1
Create flowers by folding up to 3 pieces of tissue paper into 1" accordion folds. If you so choose, you may cut the ends in half-circles to create petals.
STEP 2
Wrap a pipe cleaner around the center of the folded tissue, leaving a stem. Fluff out the tissue paper like a flower.
STEP 3
Decorate the flowerpot using paint, gems, crayons, glitter or any other materials desired.
STEP 4
Fill the flowerpot with rice, stones or sand so that the flowers can stand upright.
