The seniors are having a Hawaiian luau soon and wanted some decorations to add to the festivities. We're still getting to know one another so I thought a clean and easy project would be to make flowers for their hair. They already had a source for leis. We took 6-8 six-inch squares of tissue paper in a stack and fan folded them with the folds about 1/2 inch wide. Then, using a twist tie from the local grocery store (thank you Safeway), we used the tie to secure the folded bunch. The ends of the ties made a way to clip the flower to a lapel or put behind an ear.
The seniors had great fun pulling out each piece of tissue paper gently from it's folded position to create the flower petals. All one color of tissue was nice, or a combination of colors was also nice. Everybody did a few so there were extras for the people who didn't attend the art lesson.
I hope they have a great luau.
