Tissue Paper Snowdrop Flowers

Handmade Flowers for Stunning Winter Home Decor

Snowdrops are sweet little white flowers that blossom at the end of winter. These ladies start showing their petals as soon as they know spring is upon us, so we are welcoming these baby blooms with open arms! Because snowdrops are more delicate flowers, we thought that tissue paper would be the perfect material. For a shimmery touch, we used the frosted white paper from our Americana tissue pack. When you are finished, these simple tissue paper snowdrops can be a gorgeous piece of desk or home decor.

3. Glue the yellow fringe around the end of your floral wire.
4. Use a green marker to add some detailing to the rounded white fringe piece. See the photo tutorial below for reference. 
5. Glue the rounded fringe around the yellow center, with the green detailing on the inside. 
6. Glue three petals evenly spaced around the center of the flower. 
7. Use floral tape to wrap the base of the flower and stem. 
8. Bend the wire so that the snowdrops point slightly downward. 
9. Glue three green leaves to a short piece of floral wire. 
10. Arrange the flowers and leaves in your choice of vase or container filled with dried moss. 

Tips

To add some texture to our tissue paper snowdrops, our maker Jessica May decided to use text weight metallic paper in Fairway for the leaves. For the marker portion, we used Copic brand in Pea Green. These flowers would look gorgeous in a terra cotta pot, but instead we used a cute wire basket that we had lying around the studio and added some cork paper around the edges. The dried moss was enough to anchor the lightweight flowers, but you can also stick the floral wire stems into a piece of foam to make it more secure. Easy!
