Does anyone know how to make paper carnations out of Kleenex?

My daughters and I made them years ago, but none of us can remember how to fold the tissue or cut it. It seems like pinking sheers were involved in the cutting. Once it is folded and cut, you splay the plys out and it forms a lovely carnation. Does anyone know how to do this?

Found this online. The kind I made when I was young were the "carnation" style. I hope this is what you were looking for!



Tissue Paper Flowers



Roses



fold tissue paper(8 1/2 x 11) (or Kleenex) once lengthwise, wrap the folded edge tightly around the end of a pen/Pencil leaving the open edge as loose as possible. Slide of the pen and twist the end and you have a large rose bud.

similar to the above but use a twig, rather than a pen, wrap tightly. Instead of sliding off you wrap the base of the flower and twig with green florist tape....long stem rose.

for a fuller rose use multiple layers of tissue paper



Carnations



layer 4/5 tissue paper (8 1/2 x 11) on top of one another, fold accordion style lengthwise (if long paper can make more than one flower).

tie string tightly in the middle of the folded paper.

Spread each layer of tissue paper gradually apart on both ends until it forms a large carnation...use excess string to attach to things.

note if it is not full enough you can add more paper next time or pinch the center together tightly.
