I actually did that for a girlfriend one time for Valentine's Day. I just used red and green construction paper, green for the stem of course, and just rolled that very tight. And then the red paper I cut strips out and rolled that around a pen but rolled it like corner to corner and then i taped the outside and took the pen out and let the inside kinda unravel. so it looks like a rose. they came out pretty nice. Hope this helps
Reply:Yout materials are brightly colored tissue paper and green pipecleaners.





stack the different colored sheets of tissue paper (have them be in a medium sized square but you could mess around with the size)- probably about 3 colors per flower





then fold the paper, and kinda shape it a little





take a pip cleaner and poke it in the middle- you may need to secure it with tape or staples





then cut down the paper if you wish, make the stem have leaves, and put it in a vase...





viola!!!





sorry if my directions arent that clear, but i tried!
