You will need: tissue paper, hole punch, wire, and wire cutters.
Take 4-8 pieces of tissue paper and accordion fold them, at least 7 times. 
Make a hole punch in the center of the folds.
Thread a piece of wire through the hole.
Twist it closed. 
And twist the wire into a loop. 
Now, shape the petals with scissors. 
For this one, I did scallops, but triangles look cool too. 
Fan out the accordion folds. 
Then gently pull up the tissue layers one by one.
Soon you'll have a lovely collection of flowers to string on a garland. 
Quite festive, don't you think? What's your favorite party decoration?
