Tissue Paper Wreath "How To"

Here is my "How To" on my labor of love from last week. Now that I think of it I should have done it at the table rather than sitting on the floor of my Family Room, but I really wanted to watch TV with my husband too. I guess my bad back and some IB Profin are what I get for trying to accomplish 2 tasks at once. So if you sit at a table I am sure you will not get "my" bad back!

Here is the list of what you will need:
-round styrofoam
-glue gun
-tissue paper- cut rectangles of 5X7
-letter opener (or something pointy- could use a knife!)

First take your 5X7 rectangles of tissue and gather so you have a point at the bottom (as seen in the picture). Then twist the point. Take your letter opener and make a small round hole in the styrofoam- about 1/2" diameter. Fill the hole with glue and put point end of tissue paper into glue filled hole. You may need to use your letter opener to get the point completly in. And thats it! Just make lots of holes close to each other so the tissue will look full and close together. I put tissue on the outer sides of the foam but not on the interior as you could not see the interior after how full I had made the rest. I have not attached my round circles with Parker's "P" and "1" but I am going to make a big bow, hole punch a hole in my circle and thread by bow through and then hot glue to wreath. I swear hot glue is one of my best friends!! Have fun ladies!!

{You could even spray your tissue with glitter spray for a light luster if you were having a fairy party.}
