Tissue Flowers: Do It Yourself

I am in full party mode for my baby's first birthday rounding this week.  The theme is a nautical one with parts of the house decorated for underwater fun.  With the streamers of kelp, fish etc etc I wanted to add some tissue flowers to hang around. 

You may have seen these kits in party stores and I am always amazed at the mark ups on items like this.  Skip to the dollar store instead and buy yourself the below.
 

Experiment with the number of sheets of tissue you need to create the look you want.  Remember be gentle when pulling apart the layers.  Although you can easily hide rips if they occur you certainly don't want too many of them.

Simple simple.
