How To Wrap Flowers In Tissue Paper

Wrapping flowers in tissue paper is a lovely way to present a bouquet, whether for a gift or decoration. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to wrap flowers in tissue paper:

Materials You’ll Need:

• Fresh flowers
• Tissue paper (choose colors that complement your flowers)
• Clear cellophane (optional)
• Ribbon or twine
• Scissors
• Floral tape or rubber band

Steps to Wrap Flowers in Tissue Paper:

1. Prepare the Flowers:
   • Remove any excess leaves or thorns from the stems.
   • Trim the stems to your desired length.
   • Arrange the flowers in a small bouquet, making sure their heads are at roughly the same height.
2. Secure the Bouquet:
   • Use a floral tape or a rubber band to secure the stems together. This will make it easier to wrap them.
3. Prepare the Tissue Paper:
   • Lay out one or more sheets of tissue paper on a flat surface. If using multiple sheets, layer them in a staggered fashion for a more voluminous look.
   • You can also use two different colors of tissue paper for contrast.
4. Add Cellophane (Optional):
   • If you want to give the bouquet an extra layer of protection or a more polished look, you can place a sheet of clear cellophane on top of the tissue paper.
5. Position the Flowers:
   • Place the flowers diagonally at one corner of the tissue paper, with the heads of the flowers facing the opposite corner.
6. Wrap the Tissue Paper:
   • Fold the bottom corner of the tissue paper up over the stems.
   • Fold one side of the tissue paper over the bouquet.
   • Fold the other side over, wrapping the entire bouquet snugly.
   • Adjust the tissue paper as needed to ensure the flowers are well-protected and the wrap looks neat.
7. Secure the Wrap:
   • Use a piece of ribbon or twine to tie around the stems where the tissue paper ends, securing the wrapping in place.
   • You can tie a bow for an added decorative touch.
8. Final Adjustments:
   • Fluff up the tissue paper around the flower heads if needed.
   • Trim any excess tissue paper or cellophane from the bottom to ensure it looks tidy.

Tips:

• Be gentle when handling the flowers to avoid damaging the petals.
• Experiment with different tissue paper colors and patterns for different occasions.
• Adding a small card or tag tied to the bouquet with a short message can personalize your gift further.

By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and professional-looking flower wrap that’s perfect for any occasion!
