tissue paper flowers

Lately everywhere I go I see tissue paper flowers! I see it in storefronts, on many pretty wedding blogs. And it makes me remember my mom. When my mom was young, she had her own business making Mexican tissue paper flowers - the big bright poufy kind. The were so awesome! She tried to teach us how to make them, but our little hands just couldn't handle it. I'm thinking of trying it out again...maybe my older age has improved my finger dexterity.  Click here for an article on how to make them.
