DIY Tissue Paper Marigolds

April 17, 2020 by Wifeeclectic 1 Comment

Shortly after we saw the movie Coco for the first time, we made these DIY Tissue Paper Marigolds. I had made these flowers for years always in pinks and purples but it was when I made them in yellow and gold for the first time that I truly appreciated how beautiful they are. I keep a vase of them in my house all year round to appreciate the beauty in life and the beauty of our family that has gone on before.

Step 1. Place the orange tissue paper on top of the yellow.  Cut both pieces of tissue paper in half longways.

Step 5. Fanfold your stack of tissue paper. First, fold it in an inch one way and then fold it back on itself the other way.

    I made this with one of my son yesterday, for Mother’s Day. since he is a teen-aged boy, it was like pulling tooth to get him to do this with me. I had to pull out the old guilt card, ‘It’s mother’s Day, my day…”
    Thank you for sharing these beautiful flowers for a mom like me to make with my son.
