Use at least 5 sheets, but more can be used to create fuller flowers. Sheets can be all the same color or a variety of colors depending on how you want your flowers to look. You will be working with a square or rectangular shape. Each fold should be about an inch to an inch and a half wide (2.5 to 3.8 cm). If needed, place a thin towel over the folded tissue paper and firmly press with a hot iron to help set the folds. Twist the pipe cleaner underneath the crease to connect the layers. It can also serve as the stem of the flower. Use scissors to cut a point or rounded edge onto the folded paper. Separate sheets by gently pulling each individual sheet of paper toward the center of the flower. Repeat until all sheets are pulled to the center. Gently pull individual sheets of paper upwards and towards the center of the flower. This will make it 3-dimensional.

Summary: Layer several sheets of tissue paper. Align the edges of the tissue paper. Fold the tissue paper like an accordion or a fan. Crease paper firmly by pushing down on the top of the folded paper. Fold the creased paper in half around a pipe cleaner. Trim the edge of the paper accordion to shape the petals. Spread out each side of the folded paper. Finished.


Peel the zucchini if you don’t want the peel to be included in your zucchini. The peel contains a large amount of nutrients, so avoid peeling it if you don’t mind the flavor. Then, slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. If your zucchini is less than eight inches (20 cm) long, they may be left in without changing the consistency of your shredded zucchini. Place the shredding disk on it if you have one. If not, you can shred it using the regular blade with a pulsing motion, although it will result in smaller shreds. Fill it up to the top. Check to see if your zucchini shreds are small enough. If they aren’t, pulse for 15 more seconds.

Summary: Wash your squash. Cut off the ends of the zucchini. Scoop out the mature seeds in the center. Set up your food processor. Chop the pieces into two-inch (five cm) squares and toss them into the food processor. Pulse your food processor for 30 seconds or insert the squash through the shredding attachment.


If you’re working on a home improvement project and you need to fill holes, you can make an inexpensive version of spackling putty in just a few minutes! Visit a home improvement store and buy a bag of basecoat plaster, which will likely be near the drywall supplies.  If you can, choose the kind that takes 45 minutes to set, often called “Basecoat 45.” That will give you plenty of time to fill the holes, but the mixture will harden quickly once you’re finished. Basecoat plaster is typically sold in 25 lb (11 kg) or 50 lb (23 kg) bags. Although you won’t need that much for most projects, it’s inexpensive and will keep indefinitely. To use your putty, press it into a hole in the wall, then scrape it to create a smooth, flat surface, and let it dry. When it’s completely hardened, sand away any bumps, then paint over the plaster and enjoy your handiwork! Throw any leftover putty in the trash.

Summary: Purchase a bag of basecoat plaster. Use the putty within 45 minutes.
