Tissue Paper Flower Centerpieces

Also for the wedding shower last spring, I needed some centerpieces. I found a great tutorial online (scroll down to the golf ball) for tissue paper flowers that I loved, so I decided to give it a shot. 

I gathered my materials and started making petals.

One episode of Castle later, I had enough to make centerpieces and also scatter as decor around the food area. 

I stapled some curling ribbon to the bottom of each flower and propped them in my vases (Dollar Tree), adding a bit of ribbon around the top to conceal the transition area.

Although it took a little while to make the flowers, the rest came together in about 20 minutes. (I made 12.) Not bad for an evening's work!
