Folded Flowers

To continue our paper sculpture unit in second grade (and make some cool gifts for Valentine's day), we created these tissue paper flowers.  We stacked our tissue paper squares, did the accordion fold, squeezed them in the middle like a bow tie, and twisted a pipe cleaner in the middle.  Then we gently peeled each layer up and towards the center and voila--Valentine's magic!
