Hi everyone! I was tricked. Mom said whoever picked the shortest straw had to write today, but there were 3 of us and only 2 straws.
Being that the 4th of July is coming up, I thought I would make something patriotic. 
I made a tissue paper flower in red, white and blue. All you need is 3 colors of tissue paper, scissors and a pipe cleaner or wire. You cute the paper into squares ( about 10 inches by 10 inches). You need 6 of one color, 4 of another and 2 of the last color.
You stack them then fold them like an accordion. Then tie it in the middle with the wire.
Then you puff it up.
And if you are lucky, you can keep a piece of tissue paper to play with.

That’s beautiful like you Penny! Thanks for the tip! 🙂 <3

How pretty!
You look like you did score some tissue paper to play with and roll on…so crinkly and fun!
Thank you. I did and mom put silvervine on it too. 🙂 XO
Oh boy, Cooper and Mom are excited. They already have the instructions for the next Scout craft project and can be already to go on the 5th. Thanks, Penny. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, angel Mauricio, Misty May, angel Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Sawyer & Kizmet
You’re welcome. I was just getting the bugs out. 🙂 XO

That turned out very nice, Penny, thanks for the tip! XO
Thank you. XO
You made a lovely flower!
Thank you. 🙂
This is so easy, even my human could do it!
I hope she makes some. 🙂
That is a good tip. Penny.
Thank you. XO
You are one of the most artistic kitties we know! Wonderful flower in. Mama is making one for Ukraine, too.
Thank you. That is a sweet idea. XO
What a good job of it you did! Very pretty!
Thank you. XO
I think you did a VERY GOOD JOB! I know we’re doing this craft at Cat Scouts soon – can’t wait!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. I was testing to be sure we knew all the directions. 🙂 XO
Thanks for the great tips, Penny! Now about that trick that mom played,,,😼
Thank you. My mom is mean. XO

I, personally, am glad you got the short straw!! Your flower is very pretty and a VERY good idea!
Thank you. XO
Penny, I buy tissue paper just for the cats to play with; Sweetie loves to tear it up especially.
That is so nice of you to do. 🙂
Very cool idea for a flower. Canada Day is July 1 and I would only need 2 colours 😉
Purrs, Julie
I hope you make some. 🙂 XO
Those are some pretty flowers! We used to make tissue flowers for birthdays, it is a fun craft that even I can do!
Thank you. Yes, it is so easy my mom can do it too. XO
Very pretty flower! Good job!
Thank you. XO

Very pretty. Mom used to make tissue flowers as a kid by folding tissue paper like an accordion. Your idea is very good.

Thank you. That is what I did. XO
While i noticed yesterday that you didn’t have a straw, Penny, i thought it was because yours was the short one and i just wasn’t seeing it, i had no idea there wasn’t one. That is rather tricky.
Either way, you did a great job and i’m very glad to see you posting!
Thank you. xO
That’s a pawsome idea, Penny! You need to get even with your mom 🙂
Thank you. I will. 🙂 XO
That sure was a straw trick but the tissue paper looks like fun!
It is. 🙂
You are so creative, Penny! You should get TWO pieces of tissue paper to play with!
Thank you. XO
That worked out great Penny. You made a beautiful flower and had tissue left and that means tissue to skate around on. That straw game always comes out wonky!
And mom put silvervine on the flower for me too. 🙂 XO
Oh, that is lovely! And having tissue paper to play with is the best! xo
Thank you. XO
A great project and one sweet kitty. ~hugs~ I love this family. 😀
Thank you. We love you too. XO
So very pretty, and yes, we hope you were rewarded with a piece of tissue for yourself!
Thank you. Yes, I scored one. XO
