 These
wonderful flowers are told here for you, through
me, by KABOOSE. Now for all you parents who love aa
online magazine I will give you the details at the
bottom of the flower making, so you don't go taking
a peep till you have helped the little ones with
some flowers.
The images are at the bottom of
the page under the tips.

Flowers are a mainstay on
Valentine's Day, but real flower fade and
wilt.

Make this pretty in pink
bundle of tissue paper carnations, they
will last forever!

What you'll
need:

• Pink tissue paper, cut into
  7" x 3" rectangles (2 per
  flower)
• Pink and purple chenille
  stems
• Scissors
• Thin white
  ribbon
  

How to
make it:

1. Take two tissue paper
   rectangles and lay them one on top of the other so
   that that line up exactly.
2. Cut ½" wide slits along
   the long edge about half way up the tissue paper.

3. Cut a one-inch piece off
   the chenille stem and set aside. (image
   two)
4. Place the long piece of
   chenille in the center of the tissue paper
   rectangle, the slits should be at the top. (image
   three)
5. Fold tissue paper in
   half, over the chenille stem, like a greeting card.

6. Holding the chenille in
   place, roll the tissue paper up around the
   chenille. (image five)
7. Hold tissue paper in
   place and wrap the small piece of chenille
   (that you trimmed off in step 3) around the tissue
   paper, below the
   slits. (image six)
8. Fluff up the petals of
   the flower to your liking.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for as
   many flowers as you like.
10. Gather flower stems
    together and tie bouquet together with a piece of
    white ribbon. (See image.)
