Step 1
Stack the tissue paper in this order: two sheets of green on the bottom, four of red in the middle, and two of yellow on top. Fold the paper, accordion style.
Step 2
Separate the layers. Re-accordion each layer, and cut the ends, creating different shapes. Cut triangles for the leaves, round for the petals, and fringe for the center.
Step 3
Open the layers back up and re-stack them in their original order. Pinch the accordion and staple in the middle.
Step 4
Fluff up the layers of the flower, starting with the yellow center. Grip the paper toward the inside of the flower, instead of the edges, to help minimize tearing.
Step 5
Repeat the same on the other side, and so on! You have a tri-color fancy-schmancy flower
