And it requires only 4 steps: fold, cut,fasten and arrange, as easy as breath!
Materials you need:

4. Fold floral wire in half and place in the middle of tissue paper. Twist ends to secure.
5. Carefully pull up the first layer of tissue paper.
6. Continue pulling each layer up toward the top until all layers of tissue are separated and flower is formed.
7. Now, to wrap the present. I've mentioned it lots of times before on the blog - my favorite way to wrap presents is with simple Kraft paper. I just love the natural look of it and it makes a great background for almost any color of ribbon or bow.
8. Attach flower to ribbon and your package is ready.
Make a few flowers at once to keep on hand and the next time you need to wrap a present, you will be ready!
