Materials:
Tissue paper (whatever color you'd like)
Green craft paper or construction paper
Stapler
Scissors
Stack 6 sheets of of tissue paper one on top of the other and cut a 5x5 inch square. Also cut a 5x5 inch square of the green craft paper. You may stack them all together to save time if desired.
Stack the craft and tissue papers together and cut a flower shape. I cut this freehand. You may draw it before cutting if you're iffy about your freehand cutting skills.
This is optional, but I shifted each layer of tissue paper and in order to stagger the petals. It gives it a more 'natural' look. Afterward, staple together at the center (the green craft sheet is on the bottom of the stack).
Finally, pinch the the petals sheets together (I started with 2 layers and added a sheet with each pinch) and let them naturally spread apart. Do not pinch the last sheet (the green craft paper).
Maneuver the petals to the desired look et voila: A pretty lily pad!
