DIY Bunga Tissue: Carnation

This afternoon I was feeling really bored and the weather isnt helping at all. I decided to make carnation flower using tissues. My first attempt didnt go really well, so I decided to try again. This time I took pictures of the step. Just to share with all my lovely readers =)

First of all, lemme show you how carnation looks like in real.

Beautiful right?

Since I still have pink tissues in the cupboard, I decided to try making my own carnation. Here's mine:

Sama tak? hik hik *gedik*

 here are the steps. Very easy and it takes about 5-10 minutes to complete one flower.

1. Cut the tissue into half.

2. Pile each ply onto one another. Make a stack.

3. Fold them like making a paper fan. *ala macam kraf time tadika..hee*

This one for clearer view

4. Tie using wire or threads in the middle. Make sure it's tight. After that, pull each ply slowly.

Pull each ply according to the arrow.hehe macam kopak satu2 jadi kelopak.

TADAAAAAAA!!!

I made 2 sizes. One is L size, the other one is S size.

I feel soooo proud of myself. Yerpp i know this is a very simple DIY but knowing that those comes from my 'jantan' hand, the feeling is unbelievable.

One note: pull the tissue slowly, if too rough you might spoil it..like I did. I read that we can use crepe paper as well. Might buy them the next time I go out. Happy trying yalls!!!

p/s Anyhoo, I was inspired by this:
