- Green "bendy" straw
Begin the tissue daffodils by cutting out a 5 inch x 5 inch
square from the yellow tissue paper.
Fold the square of tissue paper in half, and cut along the
crease to make two rectangles.
3. Place one rectangle aside for later. With the
other rectangle, place a thick marker (or another similar shaped
object) along one end, and roll the tissue paper around it.
Make sure to leave about half of the tissue paper hanging off
the marker, and twist this overhanging tissue tightly around the
marker, as shown.

6. Unfold the petal shape and make cut a little way in

Line up the thick marker along the petal edge and roll the
petals around the marker, like you did with the first sheet of tissue
paper. Twist the ends of the tissue paper again (HINT: wet

Cut off part of the short end of a green bendy straw.
Add a drop of glue to the inside of the straw, then stick the
end of the flower into the straw, and allow to dry.
When dry, carefully slide the marker out of the flower.
Bend down and flare each tissue petal.
