How to make tissue paper flowers?

I am trying to find tissue paper flowers, which expand when you put them in a sacer of water. any ideas?

  • they come in a packet as shapes of compressed tissue paper, and when you put them in the water they float on the surface and expand into complex paper flowers. They are a bit like coils of thin paper, made into flower shapes. I think someone brought them back from china as a present - but this was 15 years ago or more. does anyone know what im talking about and have any idea where to get them from? I have tried google with no luck! Thanks in advance.

  • Answer:

    yes, they are endeed chinese..... it's art to make those!! ;) i've seen how it works first hand but i can't tell you exactely how they are made or where to purchase them from... a friend of mine showed me while in china, swept me away... don't know where he got it from... all he said was... "like magic!"
