To Someone Use paper of a single color for each bloom, or make each layer from a different shade. For instance, from pink through mauve and violet and other shades of blue. This will give rise to a glowing, luminous effect.
Crepe paper makes suitably chunky leaves to contrast with the delicate flowers.
Bend a small loop in one end of a length of wire. Fold four sheets of tissue paper together into quarters. Open out the folds and use a needle to make a hole through the center. Push the straight end of the wire through the hole. Separate the tissue paper layers and rotate them slightly to stagger them.
