Twist a pipe cleaner around the center.



Round both ends of the stack with scissors.



Open the flower by gently pulling up 1 layer of tissue paper at a time toward the center.





Turn over the flower and use the pipe cleaner ends to attach two 6-foot strips of crepe paper streamers to the bottom of the flower.
