I love decorating presents, no matter what the occasion. I also love to create the decorations myself. Paper is always a material I’m drawn to. Then I experiment with it until it’s just perfect. On this page you fin the instructions for dahlias folded with tissue paper. If you prefer roses, please see here for inspiration.

The embellishment for these presents was inspired when I photographed white dahlias a few years ago. The tissue paper flowers look best when placed on smaller boxes. We used a black and white paper and ribbon combination. Pink and red or orange and fuchsia would look just a wonderful. These flowers can be used to decorate gifts year round.

See below for instructions.
