Twist a green pipe cleaner around the center, about where you stapled the folded paper. Loop and twist the pipe cleaner and secure it below so that it will act as the stem of your flower.
Gently, peel the top layer of the tissue paper towards the center of the flower. Alternate this step, back and forth on each side of the flower, until all of the layers of tissue paper have been separated and fluffed.
Twist the green pipe cleaner that is attached to your flower around a small wooden skewer or popsicle stick. Add another pipe cleaner and repeat the process until you reach the end of the stick.
