Although I think mami should be celebrated every day, why not celebrate in an extra special way on that one day a year dedicated solely to her? How about making something just for her, something she can enjoy and admire for days, weeks even?!
I love flowers. I love to see them, grow them, cut them, receive them, and give them. So it should come to no surprise that flowers are what we plan to make this Mother’s Day for all the lovely mothers we know – tissue paper flowers to be exact. Tissue paper flowers are easy for little hands to make and lovely to look at. Besides, who doesn’t like to get flowers? Would you like to learn how to make these tissue paper flowers?
DIY Tissue Paper Flowers Craft for Kids
Materials Needed:
- Tissue paper
- Pipe cleaners
- Washi tape
- Twigs
- Scissors
How to Make Tissue Paper Flowers for Mother’s Day:
Begin by cutting your leaves. You can cut several at the same time (I cut 6 at the same time). Then, with the yellow tissue, cut a thin strip, about 3 inches in width, and whatever length you choose. Do the same with the pink tissue (or any other color you choose), but this time it should double in thickness (about 6 inches) and keep the same length.
Make the flower center and petals following the steps in the photo below:
Add the stem and leaves following the steps in the photo below:
Make one or make a bunch of tissue paper flowers and gift to that special mami you know!

My girls will love making these. We’ll give it a shot, and it’s challenging enough to keep their minds of wanting to make paper dragons and dinosaurs instead (they’re kind of tom boys – love it!)
