Cut your paper into equal sized squares. Stack the squares neatly into a pile.

Starting at one edge, fold about 1/2 inch forward. Turn the stack over and fold another 1/2 inch. Continue folding back and forth in an accordion style until the entire stack is folded.

Cut a piece of wire about 12 inches long and fold it in half.

Place the center of the folded paper into the bend of the wire. Twist the wire tightly around the middle of the accordion to secure it.

Carefully fan out both sides of the folded paper.

Working one side at a time, gently lift the top layer of paper toward the center. Continue lifting each layer until it forms a full, fluffy flower. Repeat on the other side. Take your time since book pages can tear easily.

Twist the wire ends together to form a sturdy stem.

Tie a ribbon around the stem for a decorative finishing touch.
