The girls school has a lovely Anzac Day Parade each year. Each class make a wreath to put on the schools rose bush Anzac Memorial at the school. Each year they do different types. Real flowers, paper flowers, tissue flowers, fabric flowers, photocopies etc.
Miss K came home yesterday excited about learning how to do tissue flowers.
I remember doing these as a kid, but had forgotten how. She talked me through the steps.
So today we made many tissue flowers and put them on our Birthday Candle Wreath to make a table decoration wreath for Anzac Day
First Cut a Tissue in half. Place both halves together.
From the shorter end Concertina/Fan fold the whole way up.
Staple in the middle like shown. Use a felt pen to colour the tips of the paper.
Make a whole heap and you can stick them on a cardboard wreath or similar.
Add some leaves and a ~ Lest We Forget ~ sign.
We will be discussing family members who fought in wars while enjoying our wreath.
May you have a peaceful and wonderful Anzac Weekend.

That brought back memories, of making hundreds of paper flowers to go on the arch at my wedding, sounds so tacky now but all the rage then lol
