    The second one is easy. You just crumple it, cut it in half, and wrap it around a pencil!

    It is possible to use actual tissue to make paper roses. The challenge is to find a tissue that will not completely shred when manipulated. It also requires a lot more care in assembling, as the tissue does not have the fiber strength of other papers.
  • Question
    What's the best paper other than a tissue?

    Crepe paper is traditionally the best paper to use to make paper flowers. Crepe paper can stretch and can easily be shaped into petals. The better the quality of the crepe paper, the better the flower appearance. Lower quality crepe paper is thin and also has a tendency to tear without a lot of stretch. While good paper costs more, the end result can be quite realistic in appearance.

    The second method would be easiest, you just take tissue paper, fold it in half, wrap it around a pencil, and secure it with a wire.
  • Question
    Should I use a pen rather than a wire?

    That is totally up to you, whether or not you want a stronger, inflexible stem for the flower. A pen could work if that's the effect you're wanting.
