Fun Ideas with Tissue paper

I am sure that a lot of you can remember crafting with tissue paper years ago. Tissue paper flowers and vases have been popular crafts throughout the years. Here are a couple of ideas I managed to find

Tissue paper Sun Catchers
Tear tissue paper in pieces. Take a clear plastic lid or piece of PVC and paste tissue paper pieces with diluted white glue. Wait for it to dry before punching a hole. Tie a ribbon through it and hang in your window.
Tissue paper wall hangings
Tear tissue paper in pieces. Apply a layer of glue and water mixture on a piece of tinfoil. Arrange the tissue paper in a desired pattern, on top of the tinfoil. Spread with another layer of the glue mixture. Add as many layers as you like, then let dry.
Tissue paper Flowers
Take eight 6cm squares of tissue paper and fold as you would a paper fan. Stack the folded paper and wrap one end of the pipe cleaner around the middle. Turn each piece of tissue paper a half-turn to create the flower petal.
Tissue paper Window Decorations
A fun way for children to decorate their windows. Smear petroleum jelly on the window. Apply tissue paper in a pattern, picture, etc. Change picture as often as you want. Washes completely off with warm soapy water.
Tissue Paper Wreath
Cut the center out of a paper plate. Cut tissue paper into 8cm squares. Place the eraser end of a pencil in the center of a piece of the tissue paper and pull it up around the pencil. Dip the pencil with the tissue on it in white glue. Then place it on the paper plate. Hold it there for several seconds until it sets. Continue this way until you fill the paper plate ring. Try putting several layers of tissue inside each other gluing one layer at a time to make a fuller flower. Add some green tissue leaves, glitter, ribbons, or roll the tissue into a ball to make berries.
Tissue paper Stained Glass Pictures
Photocopy coloring book pages for children to glue on pieces of colored tissue paper. Hang it in the window for a stained glass effect.
Tissue paper Vases or bottles
Decorate old bottles or jars by adding small pieces of torn tissue paper applied with watered down white glue. You can give the tissue depth by applying several layers of tissue or crumpling the tissue before you apply it.
Tissue paper Mexican Folk Art
Fold tissue accordion-style. Make cuts around the folded edges just like you would to cut out folded snowflakes. Unfold the accordion and you have “papel picado” to hang up for a festive decoration.
Tissue paper weights
Decoupage smooth round stones with tissue paper to make really awesome paper weights.
Tissue paper Decorated Eggs
Blow out an egg and apply small pieces of tissue paper using thinned glue. When dry, apply ribbon, beads, etc. They are beautiful! Ideal for Easter.
