How to Make a Hawaiian Tissue Paper Flower Necklace
- 1). Cut three circles from a single color of tissue paper, 10 inches in diameter. Use the measuring tape and pencil to sketch the outline if needed. Lay the circles in a stack, and pinch the pieces together in the middle of the round shape. Let the outer edges of the circles fold into a Hawaiian tissue paper flower shape. Wrap a piece of tape tightly around the pinched area of the tissue paper to create a 1/2-inch tab.
- 2). Repeat Step 1 until you have created at least 12 tissue paper flowers for the necklace in assorted colors.
- 3). Cut a 24- to 36-inch-long piece of yarn, depending on how long you want the Hawaiian tissue paper flower necklace. Place a paper flower face down on a flat surface with the tape tab folded flat against the back of the flower. Fold the yarn in half, and put the middle point horizontally along the middle of the flower.
- 4). Use a short piece of tape to secure the yarn along the middle of the tissue paper flower. Use a short piece of tape placed vertically to help secure the first piece of tape and keep the flower open. Slide one green plastic bead onto the yarn along the left side of the flower and one along the right side.
- 5). Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you've made at least 16 inches of decorated yarn to create the Hawaiian tissue paper flower necklace. Tie the ends of the lei in a knot to the length desired. Cut any excess yarn from the necklace.
