On a snowy day here at Arrow Paper Party Rental I was surfing some Wedding Blogs and I came across True Event's blog about Paper Flower Napkin Rings. I liked the idea very much that I decided to make it my own and expand on the idea. It's very cheap and at the same time very easy to do. All you need is a ruler, tissue (which we sell here at Arrow Paper Party Rental or at our Norwich Arrow Party Store), florist wire and scissors. First I started off by making the paper flower napkin ring & then afterwards I expanded by making a paper flower bouquet for a centerpiece.
Here is how you make a Paper Flower Napkin Ring or Centerpiece:
1. Stack four sheets of tissue. Cut to 10x5 inch rectangle, cutting threw all the layers. Make a 3/8 inch wide accordion fold.
2. Fold an 18 inch or longer piece of floral wire in half, slip it over the center of the tissue and twist to secure. Trim ends of tissue (you can use either regular or scrapbooking scissors to get a different edge).
3. Separate layers, pulling towards the center one at a time.
4. Bend the wire into a loop to fit around a napkin and twist end around loop to secure. If you don't want to make a napkin ring and do a centerpiece instead, bend wire as desired.
