apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

These pretty pink paper flowers are just in time for Valentine's Day. Who needs real flowers that will wilt in a week when you can make a dozen of these with only a few supplies?

If you've got some tissue paper, scissors, and a pipe cleaner or two, you and your kids are ready to make these beautiful blooms.

It's surprisingly simple to add a touch of beauty to any room with these colorful guys. Place them around the kids' rooms, hang them from the ceiling, or gather them in a vase on the dining table for the whole family to enjoy way past Valentine's Day. The best part- no watering necessary.
