I was reading a book where a couple was getting married and made Kleenex tissue flowers and thought, “huh… wonder what those look like?”. Of course I Googled it and found lots of references to Kleenex tissue flowers and found that it was a popular craft back in the day – very similar to the Martha tissue paper pom-poms you see all over nowadays.
I found a tutorial for how to make them at Wee Folk Art. They are classy and sophisticated and SUPER SIMPLE. I read several places that little girls use bobby pins instead of ties and are then able to wear them in their hair.

I think this is so funny. We made these flowers to go on the homecoming parade float when I was in high school (late 1960s). It’s hard to realize that everyone doesn’t know how to make these. What goes around comes around.
I used to have lots of fun making these as a young girl (late 1960’s too). They were often used for graduation parties, parade floats or wedding cars (you always prayed for no rain).
