Is it normaal to have the discharged air temperature 105 degree
I recently have my 8 years' old Carrier heat pump repaired by replacing a leaking evaporation coil.
I tried its heating function several times in the morning when indoor temperature was around 73 or 74 degree. I just set the heating temp one degree higher than indoor temperature.
I was a little surprised when I measured the discharged air from the vent closes to the unit. The temperature was 105 degrees. At the same time there was a smell like something burned (I do not know how to describe it exactly, anyway the air smelled different when the heating was on).
I wondered if the electric heater was on since the discharged air temperature was so high. I then used the same thermometer measured the temp of the pipe that connects the outdoor unit to the indoor unit and the reading was about the same. Consequently, I guess the electric heater indoors was not on when my heat pump was running.
BTW, I used a mercury thermometer to measure the temperature. This one is quite accuracte since I compared its measurements with another digital thermometer the number
was very close.
I wonder if my heat pump functions well. Many thanks for your help!
It depends on the outside temperature as to what the heat pump will put out in the way of heat. A temperature of 110 degrees at the plenum is not uncommon with warmer outside air, say above 55 degrees. It is also normal to notice a smell (mostly from dust) when you turn the heat on for the first 1 or 2 times for the season. If everything is working as it should, I doubt your aux. heat kicked in and the 105 is the heat pump itself. So far, without actually testing the unit and taking into consideration the temperatures throughout the country lately (not knowing where you are located) I think your unit is just fine.
Heat pumps are designed according to the cooling needs of the building. If the unit was cooling properly, the heat pump mode will heat properly. Aux. heat makes up the difference needed to fully heat.
Many thanks! I really appreciate it.
yes, the outdoor temperature was around 58 to 60 degree.
I have lived in this house for almost two years however I never got a discharged air temperature above 72 in past two winters due to the leakage of freon of the evaporation coil.
Therefore, I have no idea of what temperature I would get after the leakage problem is solved.
I also hope the smell of dust will disappear after several uses. However, I doubt the smell will disappear before late October since outdoor temperature in our region (NE TN) will be still around 50 to 60 degrees. by then.
The cooling is just fine. The discharged air temperature was 47.5 degrees today when the heat pump was on. Indoor temp was 80 and outdoor was around 65.
Have a nice evening!

Worth every penny
We have three parakeets, one of which liked to spill all the food from our old, open dishes. With the JW Pet Insight Clean Cup Feed & Water Cup, there is hardly any seed spilled at all! This is a frustration saver for sure.

You may remember the wedding of our lovely D*S contributor Brittany Watson Jepsen. Her huge paper blooms made such a splash that she started selling them in her shop, and just recently Brittany wrote a great article for Brooklyn Bride about the paper flower trend. I'm thrilled that this is a growing phenomenon; I adore anything made in exaggerated scale, so I feel that the more giant flowers and plants there are in the world, the better.
This particular giant-flower DIY project comes from the creative team at Ruche. They decided to make these giant fantasy flowers for their spring lookbook, which is aptly titled "Enchantment." Read below for the story of how this project came to be, and find the full tutorial after the jump. Thanks for sharing this awesome DIY, Ruche team, and thank you, Brittany, for being on the forefront of such a cool trend :) Enjoy! — Kate
Our creative team brainstormed ways to turn our spring lookbook, Enchantment, into a daydream. When the idea of oversized flowers came about, we couldn't wait to make them a reality! Josh, the CFO of Ruche, used his engineering background to design the stems, and with the help of additional Ruche team members, they created them by hand at our warehouse. Surrounded by tissue paper and scissors, our talented set-design interns designed and created the rest of the flower pieces at our warehouse. Once they were finished, the whimsical daydream came to life. — The Ruche Team
Read the full how-to after the jump!
- plastic cups
- cement
- approx. 5" wide stucco corner
- approx. 20-gauge tie wire
- gloves and wire cutters
- tape, glue, and scissors
- tissue paper
- dried moss
- zip ties
Making the stem:
1. Determine how many flowers you're going to make and pour cement into the corresponding number of plastic cups. Let harden.
2. Purchase stucco corner (sturdy wire) from your local hardware store. The pieces we used were 5" in width.
3. Cut the wire into desired stem lengths. We varied each stem from 3 to 8 feet high. Remember to protect your hands with gloves!
4. Use the cement cups as a base and mold the wire into stems.
5. Cover the wire stems with tape for a smooth surface.
6. Glue layers of tissue paper onto the surface until the entire stem is covered.
Making the leaves:
1. Purchase approximately 20-gauge tie wire from your local hardware store and cut into desired lengths. Remember to leave extra length at the end (to attach to the stem later).
2. Twist pieces of wire together to form the leaf base.
3. Cut layers of tissue paper into leaf shapes.
4. Glue the layers together around the wire base.
5. Poke the leaves into the stems.
Making the flowers:
1. Cut layers of tissue paper into petals of various sizes.
2. Form the smallest petals into a bouquet. Tape the bouquet's stem to keep the layers together.
3. Add the next layer of petals and tape and repeat until you have reached the desired size.
4. For the flower centers, cut circles out of tissue paper, scrunch the edges, and glue two layers together.
5. Glue moss into the center of the circles.
6. Attach the center to the petals, and the flower is complete.
7. Use zip ties to attach the flower to the stem.
You're done!
So lovely i will try this some time
terrific! Thank you so much for showing us this magic. I am still thinking about that lookbook days later! Beautiful!
Great project! But what I really want is that dress!
These are so pretty! So romantic!
Absolutely Magical! Bringing my favorite Alice in Wonderland scene to life!
These are so great for a wedding backdrop, pretty and magical, very alice in wonderland!
Very beautiful!!! Seems easy to do.
Very romantic.
Wowza!! I would love to make them, but definitely don't have the space to make them or anywhere to place them! Umm if the D*S office hosts a giant flower making event, I'll be there :P
Wow! These are amazing! Perfect for fun interiors, bridal showers or weddings! Gorgeous! Totally inspiring a craft night. =)
These are beautiful…a perfect display
How stunning! I love the first shot. Gorgeous ;)
SOo beautiful! She looks like a fairy in a lovely wonderland – love the colours and the idea. Thanks!
LOVE the way these can softly dominate a room. I may try to hang them in clusters in a corner like pictures.
Absolutely fantastic! Great tutorial, thank you D*S!
Those are so gorgeous!!!
So cute! I had a huge flower similar to this when I was younger. I think I got it from some fair. I think it would be fun to try to make one of these!
Beautiful, what clever people!
I really, really want to make oodles and make a forest of them in bedroom!
These are beautiful!!
I really need that dress for an alice in wonderland themed wedding. Where did it come from!???
Ladies, the dress is from Ruche : http://shopruche.com/just-a-kiss-one-shoulder-dress.html#NP=db5b929e09a221899163e077a6b0ca68
Wowwwwww,so beautiful!!!!!!lovely!,love the pics to!thanks!!!!!
Is there a template for the leaves, petals, etc, as well as quantities? I also would like to make several of these to decorate a space.
this is so beautiful!!! if only we can make them cat-proof….
LOVELY!!! It would be an awesome photo booth backdrop for a wedding…
I love these – thanks for the tutorial!
I can't wait to make these.
Few questions first:
Any online recommendations to buy lovely shades of tissue paper?
What type of glue did you use to adhere the tissue to the stem?
Thank you!
I want to recommend chicken wire – it would work well and be cheaper!
Fantastic tutorial–thank you!
These flowers are fabulous in a BIG way! Thanks for sharing the details for how to make them.
I adore these. Only thing I'm wondering is if there's a more attractive way to attach the flower to the stem other than zip ties. Looks great from the front, but what about the back?
Love this it brings me back to the tissue flowers we made when we were kids but better!
What size tissue paper did you use? How many cut layers for each petal size?
I love, love these. Thankyou for sharing! I'm going to make them for my Spring dinner party on the tree house patio . They have these giant flowers within the rain forest in Martinique and you have given me the tools to bring these to life in my own home. Thankyou!
Oh! I love this! I wish I had an occasion to use it! I suppose I'll just have to create an occasion, then :)
Anna you could just cover up the ties with extra tissue paper! :-))
So many questions: what kind of tape did you use? Did you have to order the tissue paper from somewhere or would the kind you find for gifts be acceptable? Any particular kind of hot glue/wax?
These are stunning. I would love to cover my bedroom wall with them!
Wow, love it
SO adorable and absolutely magical! A great project for teens to brighten up a corner of their room – thanks for sharing.
I would also like to know approx. how large each petal is & how many of each size you used per flower. (Just to get a rough idea of how much tissue paper to order) And what kind of glue that is. Thanks! Beautiful project!
I adore these. I'm thinking a few over the headboard of a bed would be a great way to add some whimsy to a bedroom. I'll have to try it! Thanks for the tutorial!
wow I love this…. and the dress!
Soooo beautiful!!
These are gorgeous flowers! It will definitely make a wedding more romantic1 Plus it's cost effective! Love! Love! Love!
IF my daughter ever got married, I'd love to make these for her wedding….or at least for a gorgeous shower!!
These are awesome! If my daughter ever gets married (she's 29), she would love these!
Wow! love that! thanks for info.
Simply, beautiful, charming and delightful! One day I'm going to try and make them.
Love these! I'm making them for an upcoming spring soirée !
I tried this project with chicken wire like someone had recommended. The stem is too flimsy and doesn't stay upright and definitely can't hold the weight of a flower. Instead of restarting I inserted a dowel rod all the way from the top to the stem base. It still wouldn't stay straight up because the dowel rod shifts the weight over. I have to somehow secure the rod to the cup. Still working on that. I may have to scratch this and buy stucco corner. Home Depot did not have it. Hope you all will have better luck than me.
My friend and I are working on making these right now in shades of teal and green. We're using them for the background for my engagement photos. Thank you for this beautiful idea!.
love it! thanks for this very detailed tutorial…
I'm also working on this right now to use in my studio. I bought diamond mesh from Lowe's, so I hope it works. I also bought Aleene's tacky glue. I think that is the glue in the photos posted.
I have been making a bunch of these with 5th and 6th grade kids for our spring concert decoration… it does work with chicken wire but you need to wrap it round a bunch of times to get the strength… I cut 14inch wide piece for a 5ft flower stem and then wrapped it round and round to get the stregth to hold up the flower head!
They are looking amazing… incidentally if you are doing this with kids… I found the chicken wire stem bit the most difficult and did that bit myself and let them do the rest!
Thank you! Looks amazing.
Ooh, I have no idea what reason I'd have to make these, but I'll come up with something. They are stunning for photographs, that's for sure!
the flower heads look great.
Hi there :)
My friend and I made these and used them for the first time the other day…
link below :)
Thank you so much for the diy
Who's the model?
I am making 26 of these for my wedding in May. I started last night and with 8 of us we got about half way done… I am having trouble making the leaves so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. I ABSOLUTLY LOVE these flowers though! So excited to see them totally finished!
I had trouble finding the stucco corner, but Home Depot has a 6″ by 25′ roll of Kwikmesh in the roofing section that seems to work…
I made these I used double sided tape made it muchhhhh easier and I used the Diamond Mesh, I first tried with chicken wire and I DO NOT recommend it! Also, buy the white duck tape it was super sticky and made the stem smooth. The flowers I cut the petals 8 of 4 different sizes layered biggest to smallest taping each layer with double sided photo tape (the kind you use to scrapbook) once finish I flipped the flower smallest on the bottom now pinched and twisted, stapled it. I had trouble at first doing it the original way so I hope these help!!!!
its lovely ! thanks for the information :)
Perfect! So romantic!!!
I have all the same questions as others, can someone answer for us please?
Where did you get beautiful colored tissue paper? What kind of tape did you use for the stem? Can you give us an approximate size for flower pedals? Who is the model in the picture?
So cool!
How much is this project costing people? I'm just curious because it seems like the expenses could add up quite quickly.
Bellisimas. Saludos desde Costa Rica.
This is awesome.Would like to give it a try some day.
The creative workmanship and detail of these flowers are Romantic and Beautiful!!!
Absolutely am in love with this concept! What a wonderful, whimsical idea!
Oh, I wish I had known about in September! I was given the task of helping a young woman decorate the lobby of the theater our community theater group uses. The play was "Alice in Wonderland". Two aisles go off from the lobby into the seating area. The director asked us to represent "bigger" on one side and "smaller" on the other. We used some of the techniques shown here to make giant flowers but the overall effect wasn't nearly as pretty…we just couldn't find a good way to make the blossoms! Sending a link to this site to my friend. You never know what the future holds! Beautiful work!
Tissue paper can be found at Papermart.com. They are well priced and arrive quickly without folds in the paper. We are making these as part of a teacher appreciation day and can't wait to see the results.
I can't wait to make these for my Wedding and Event Design Studio. They will be displayed with a dessert table. Thank you for giving me the instructions.
Hey… I'm in the process of trying to make these Fabulous flowers…
Did anyone have problems with the tissue paper on the flower stems ripping?
Like, during transportation?
If mine turn out, I'm going to donate them to my daughter's school carnival… and they can maybe raffle them off as an extra fundraiser.
I'm thinking if the the tissue paper wants to rip, perhaps I should mod podge strips of tissue paper on? Does anyone have tips???
Use fabric instead of tissue paper on the stem (especially if you want to re-use the flowers) same goes for the leaves. You could use modpodge to give it a papier mache effect but this will increase the weight despite being the sturdiest option. To make it lighter and more portable you could also replace the wire in the stem with cardboard of intermediate thickness (the kind used for support envelopes-or just reuse the envelopes). Any kind of double sided tape will do or you could use glue tape (comes in a dispenser and works like double sided tape). Hope that helps.
Thanks for the tips… !! I have not decided quite what to do… have to think some more. In the mean time… my cement is hardening and my stucco corner is ready… :)
Beautiful flowers! I am looking forward to start on this project!
Thank you! I do windows for our family-owned boutique & am always looking for ideas. What a perfect way to welcome spring &/or summer. I am in the process of making 30 of these right now. Can't wait to see them in our windows!
I'm halfway through making ours, we used newspaper to cover the mesh wire and so far its looking fab! Just making the leaf, we also used wet sand to weigh down the paper cups as h2b thought it would be heavier than concrete, feels pretty weighty so hoping it will work. Hoping the flowers aren't too tricky to master, this is my first wedding DIY! So desperate to share with my friends and family but want it to be a surprise on w day! Good Luck everyone, if I can do it, anyone can!!
Liked nice creative artistic designs.
I have been looking for what seems like forever for either a pattern or a diy article for "good" paper flowers and here it is. I NEVER thought I'd find one for flowers this big. What a wonderful bonus!!!! Thank You!
How did u size the petals? Im assuming the first layer is a whole sheet, but what about the other 2 sizes? Just making sure I get this right :) I was thinking to turn just the flower into center pieces for a family reunion coming up REALLY soon. Hope to get some feed back thanks!
Hey everyone, I just did this awesome craft project for easter at my church. I have some helpful hints at my blog (http://diyandfyi.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/diy-giant-tissue-paper-flowers/).
To answer some of the questions I see on here…hope that helps!
@Sonja, Anna, Agnes, and Cindy – The number of petals and size is up to you! I used 4 large, 6 medium, and 4 small. And my large petal was half a whole sheet. My flowers turned out about almost 3′ wide. The bigger the petals, the harder it will be to keep it together and without it getting heavy.
@Crystal – I used masking tape. I used tissue paper from Target (they have lots of vibrant colors!).
@Julie – I made 3 flowers. Total cost was $20. Breakdown: Each 10′ stucco corner piece was $3.40 each. My Home Depot had a 8′ size too. I imagine this is a pretty standard building material so be sure to ask an employee before assuming they don't have it!
@Suzanne – I inserted the stems and flowers on-site so I didn't have to worry about pieces bending and ripping. Doing on-site is better too because there may be site issues you aren't aware of until you arrive (for example, there was a short wall where I was setting up, which forced me to insert my stem on the side opposite of the short wall.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Genial! :)
How long did it take to you to make it? I want to make this for my niece's Christening in June.
Im curious about the diamond mesh vs. the kwikmesh. Anybody have luck with one or the other? It seems like the kwikmesh might be flimsy over a few feet tall.
This is amazing! Pinned and shared. :) ~Laura
Awesome! The huge size makes these stand out from all others.
LOVE these! I am going to make some this weekend and see how they turn out. I love flowers I don't have to water every day :)
Stunning project!
Awesome! Thumbalina themed wedding anyone?
Interesting that I stumbled upon this. Earlier today I saw an identical flower in the window display of a photography studio. I didn't know it was a trend. hmmm.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I made these for an event I was having. Here they are before transportation.
Could not have done them without your post. Thank you so much
so cool!
This is amazing. I'm going to try this for my wedding! Big thanks to those involved in the project, and for posting it online for others!
I recently looked at large flowers to purchase, saw the price and decided not to.
Ha ha I can my own now. thanks
I saw some large flowers the other day, thinking of buying a few, NOT when I saw the price, now I can make my own. Thanks so much.
Instead of the chicken wire you can cut a large branch and set it inside a piece of log with a hole drilled out for the branch. Then cover the stem in green and add the flower. Or paint the branch green.
wowzers! these are stunning…very fairytale-ish!
Gorgeous! And now I HAVE to make some! Thank you for sharing!
Hi I want to make a giant ruche flower just like this one! but i dont know where to buy all these materials…do you know where you bought yours? It'd be a great help if you can help me locate that specific stucco corner, the tie wire, dried moss, zip ties, and the cement.
I know michaels doesnt sell any of the things in the material list, except maybe tissue paper and scissors. thanks !
These are fantastic. Love the comment re using a long branch and covering/painting it green. This will cut the cost even further!!!! The would look great placed in tin buckets. I'm going to make some for my garden party. Thank you s much for sharing your idea :)
I wish i had enough time left to make this for my sons wedding…but we are having a reseption later and you bet ya I will be making this for the entrance to the room so thankfull i found you pics… thankyou so much for sharing your talent
Absolutely amazing.My pal is getting married next year and i do believe that the bride and us bridesmaids should definitely give this a go….Wish us luck.
Absolutely amazing.My pal is getting married next year and i do believe that the bride and us bridesmaids should definitely give this a go….Wish us luck.I'll leave another comment if we pull this off.Thanks for sharing.
These photos were copied without credit at what Google translate tells me is a Chinese blog to make their own DIY of sorts.
thank sarah- i'll see if i can send that blog an email.
We are doing a great project and want to use your giant paper flowers. A few questions. What is the size of the largest flower in inches. How many layers I see four. Is this correct? Is it good to use Crepe paper instead of tissue?
There are several sites that sell tissue paper in a great variety of colors. Office Depot, Nashville Wraps, and Paper Mart are three that I have bought from. The largest sizes that I have used are 20 x 26 and 20 x 30 inches.
thanks for this beautiful thing. it is really amazing. i love it. lots nd lots of thanks………………
So I made these for a party last week. based on the other photos people are posting, we all had the same issues and I suspect mine come closest to the originals. I really wanted the meandering stems and the height of the flowers. I made 12 of them, varying in heights up to 10 feet. Here are my suggestions:
1. I could not find stucco corner. i too, used chicken wire and suggest it would be fine, however make sure the gauge is heavy enough. Too light and the stem will fall under its own weight.
2. 5″ is rough. Go with something like 7″ instead. As you cut through the wire, do so haflway through the diamonds, wearing gloves, and then to marry the two sides of the "tube" that creates the stem, loop an open end of the wire through a diamond on the other side and bend it back to lock it there.
3. Cement: fill the cups COMPLETELY with cement. The heavier the cup, the better. Fill to top and level off so they sit well. I used a quick setting cement.
4. Now, duct tape the base of the stem to the cup by just going around and around with it. If you're going to use dowels (and I did) duct tape the dowel to the cup.
5. I used paper tape, which requires water to activate the glue. Don't use newspaper, its hard to cover, we're not paper mache-ing here. I cut off a piece of paper tape, used a spray bottle to wet it and then wrapped it around. Use all tape at an angle to go "up" the stem. If you hit a weak point in the stem, use more paper tape. Even if its over the tissue. Just tissue back over it. The tape basically helps reinforce strength.
6. I didn't bother with glue, i used spray mount. Saved HOURS of time. Tear or cut the tissue paper into lengths, hold in air, spray and then wrap it around the stem.
7. leaves: didn't require the internal structure they used. Simply made the outside shape, leaving enough "tail" to wrap around the flower. Spray the tissue paper, put the wire down and then wrap the tissue around it. boom. Once its one the flower stem, you can add more tissue around the stem to mask the tail of the leaf. Make leaves low enough to not interfere w flower.
8. Flowers: the shape they used didn't work well, the bottom too narrow. I used the same basic shape, with a more wide base and that made the petals stand out more. I used 12 petals per flower, four of each size. I skipped the raffia in the middle and used gold tissue paper cut into strips (leave it folded up, cut 1/8 off the end, it makes perfect strips). It occurred to me, you could use paper napkins for the flowers and centers. Do NOT mess around with the taping each petal part or they'll fall apart.
9. Didn't require the ziptie, just used a bit of tape. the outside leaves fall outward, so they cover everything anyways.
10. Do NOT attempt to move flowers much. they're not super sturdy no matter what you do.
I love them have made paper flowers but yours are really lovely.
I just made my own version of these super cool giant flowers for my daughters upcoming wedging, they turned out great ! I used PVC pipe for the stem instead of the wire. I put the PVC pipe into quick drying cement and then glued green tissue paper to the pipe.
Gathering supplies to make these for a little girl's fairy birthday party. They are going to love them!
Muito Show!! Com certeza vou fazer no quarto das minhas flores Isis e Susan.
Very beautiful!!lovely ,the lady and flowers
Wow these look great! Very creative!
Love this one. It is inspiring and helpful. I am planning to make big sunflowers like this!!
Love this one. It is inspiring and helpful. I am planning to make big sunflowers like this!!
Thank you so very much! I just finished making these for a my twin girls' fairy birthday party! It took a few hours, but the end result was incredible!
Interesting. I might do this for my daughters birthday party.
Any suggestions on where to purchase the stucco wire online, it does not seem to be available anywhere in my area. Or what type of wire could you use instead of the stucco wire?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi, lovely flowers. But how do you store it? What is the best way to
store the already made flowers after display?
Like if its needed for an event 3 months later.
you'll want to wrap them in bubble wrap and place them in a plastic (or air tight) storage container (try one of the tall ones meant for gift wrap). you want to keep them free of dust and safe from getting banged up.
Im in Canada and want to make these for my wedding but I am having a really hard time finding the tissue paper in bulk in specific colors without a huge shipping fee. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
I made these for my women's church group this week and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them and I even have a few friends who want to make them too.
I also used stucco lath instead of the corner wire because it was easier to form. It is available at Home Depot or Lowes or most home improvement stores I would think. I used more zip ties to hold the edges together instead of wire.
Try Papermart.com for bulk tissue.
Creating an "environment" for the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's event, "Finding the Forest," March 30th. These will be perfect; mahalo!
How do these stay up without falling over?
They are so cute I made 50 of these for our Christmas party at my nanas house and gave them to all of the guests
these would be perfect for our unbirthday party Mad Hatter's Tea. Great tutorial.
I many thanks for sharing this comfortable information. I always want and love reading quality contents. Keep sharing. Best wishes for your own further efforts.
Did you use plain old tissue paper or crepe paper?
After not being very creative in years, I made these big pink flowers to decorate the inside of a tent for my daughter's bridal shower. They looked so pretty! Thanks so sharing your instructions :)
Making one of these for my mom for Mother's Day :D
Are these transportable? Does anyone have any that they've made that they would want to sell? I would love to have these for my wedding but it looks too complicated for me to make!
Cynthia, I am in the process of making my first flower. print out the directions and follow precisely. Read the comments of people above. Study each direction and it will take shape in your head. The only part I had trouble with was the size of the petals. I will post those precise dimensions later if that will help you. Believe me it is not complicated when you do one step at a time. If you look at all the steps at once, you will be overwhelmed. These flowers are worth the effort. They are dazzling. I am making a dozen of them for guests at an upcoming formal dinner, and I am making each flower in the favorite color of each of my guests. Improvise where necessary as tape can work magic in holding things together, using any tape…all tape sticks. I am using spray glue, but any glue will do…I will tell you more when I complete my flower which I will post on Pinterest. You go, girl!
these are the dimensions I used to make the most lovely flower, much prettier than zi imagined.
5 or 6 large petals:
14 to 15 inches at the widest part at the top,
11 to 12 inches at bottom across,
18 to 20 inches high
6 or 8 medium petals:
11 to 12 inches across widest part at top,
8 or 9 inches wide at bottom,
15 to 17 inches high
4 or 5 small petals:
4 inches wide at bottom,
7 or 8 inches across widest part at top
9 to 11 inches high
These size petals give you a flower measuring about 2 feet in diameter, not too heavy and it does not fall unto itself. The flower is full and can be shaped into a lovely blossom.
When making the flower, start with the smaller petals, then the medium, then the large. I simply bound the paper blossoms one at a time in my hand, just clutching the ends of the petals, continually turning it in my hand so that the flower petals were evenly distributed. When all the petals were added, I then tightened my grip on the end stock of petals, and snapped on a snap tie. Pull that snap tie until it is extremely tight. I never used glue. If you snap tie the stock base of the petals tightly, no glue is necessary.
The snap ties that I bought are approx 8 inches long. I also bought several color snap ties so that if I make an orange flower, I have an orange snap tie disguising the snap. The snap ties are very cheap at Lowes or Home Depot or Value Hardware. I hope this helps anyone making the petals because the instructions did not even give a clue to their size.
Lastly, you can make the stem of the flower as long or as short as you wins. Before putting on a snap tie, while the flower stem is in your hand, grip it higher into the flower and the try gripping lower at the stem until you decide where you want the stem to be snapped.
There is a lot of flexibility in making this flower, do what makes you happy when you are making the flower. If you want more petals, add more. It's your call to make. This is a great project, and when they first posted directions on how to make this large flower, they took for granted too many things that were left unanswered. Nevertheless, this is one of the best ideas on flowers I have come across. If I can help anyone further, leave a post here and I will do what I can to remove doubt and present more clearer instructions.
For the people concerned about transporting these flowers, I have a simple solution. When making the stalk or stem out of the corner stucco wire, do dot seal or close off the top of the stem as shown in the instructions. Leave the top of the stem open, forming the wire into a circular shape at the top. Do not squish the opening tight. Now, aboutvthe flower. When you make your flower, make sure you keep a long enough stem in your hand as you make the flower. After you are finished adding all the petals to the flower, tighten the stem of the flower and use a snap tie to hold the stem in place. Then tape (whatever tape you use) the stem of the flower and wrap the stem of the flower with the tape to make a nice handle out of the stem. Make sure the stem is at least 4 to 5 inches long after you snap-tie the stem. Now you can insert the flower stem into the hole at the top of the stucco corner wire that you molded. When you travel, simply remove the flower and put it safely aside in your vehicle. The wire stem can then be layed down in your car or van. When you arrive at your destination, insert the flower into the stalk wire. If need be, bend forward the flower stalk until you find the desired position for the flower. I am doing this and it is a perfect solution.
mama likey =)
I have one last suggestion. Rather than making leaves, go to the craft store and buy a cluster of large leaves. Snap each leaf off the cluster of leaves as you need them. What a great solution because you do not have to fabricate each leaf….the part of this project that gave me the most trouble. Now, I just tape the leaf to the stalk. Wow! I bought a huge cluster of big leaves at Hobby Lobby for $11 and I must have at least 15 leaves in the cluster.
absolutely beautiful .. thanks for sharing the info. I'm going to try and make these for my daughters 13th birthday
Wow made one of these for my girlfriend and she loved it! Thanks for the tutorial
Amazing project!
I can't wait to make these.
Few questions first:
Where did you get beautiful colored tissue paper? Any online recommendations to buy lovely shades of tissue paper?
Can you tell me how much it is the thickness of the tissue paper?
Thank you!
Tissue paper thickness
1.Gram weight: how much ?
2.Size: What size ?
can you tell me more information for this tissue paper?
thank you~
JEEB: you buy regular grade tissue paper, don't really know the gram weight as all tissue paper, to my knowledge, is standard weight. You can order it on line at Amazon or you can find it in abundance in the Party Store. You can buy it in half size sheets or full size sheets. Both will be sufficient to make a large leaf. These are truly beautiful flowers when done. I receive so many compliments on them. If you care to view one of the flowers I made, you can go to Pinterest under Rusty Marie Belanger Wilson, go to my board called Paper Flowers – How to Make, you will see the flower I made, about 5 ft tall, taken with my granddaughter (to illustrate size). You will find that after you make your first flower, it will be easier because there are so many ways to improvise to create lovely flowers. This is really the best flower craft I have ever made. Hope this helps you.
Sorry for my english… Where can I find what is glued in the middle of the flower : the brown texture ? I'm in France, so that would be easier to find this on internet. Thany you !
I made "palm trees" years ago for a Luau style party I threw for the parents of my after school program. Similar to pvc pipe I used large cardboard rolls, I cannot remember If I made them or I got them from a carpet store or similar. Anyway, I covered those in brown paper and made giant palm leaves using a wire hanger I shaped and covered with green paper, then I cut the sides of the paper to shape and fringe. the ends of the leaves, wire hanger, I secured into the top of the tube/pipe. I stuck the trunk in a white bucket the contractors use and I filled it with sand/dirt..I covered the bucket, you could use fabric, paper, or whatever you can think of to cover it, or place it behind other decorations. You could even use led white lights for deco.
Those palm trees were borrowed many times by other site directors wanting to put on a Luau for their parent nights. We also used them for a play. The trees lasted a long time, with some small repairs here and there, when I left the job, I left the trees behind to be enjoyed as long as possible.
Mathilde, the center of the flower is made from a handful of dried moss…you buy this moss in craft stores or a store that carries flower crafting supplies. If you cannot find the moss in La Belle France, use shredded dark colored paper, or anything that you can make that is shredded. Slap that with glue, and stick it in the center of the flower. Adieux!
Ok where can I buy
Tamiko, you buy moss at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, JoAnnes, Walmart, Or flower supply stores. Most major stores have a flower or craft section. Hope this helps.
In the process of making these right now for my wedding next weekend Oct. 5th '13! We actually paper mache'd the stems and are using thicker newsprint (plane) paper.. painting the petals.

So cool! Is doesn't look like Brittany is selling the over sized flowers anymore? Was her sister selling them too?
Love love LOVE this tutorial! What a fun twist on those tissue paper flowers we used to make in school. We shared your tutorial in our recent paper flowers post (http://dgdinvitations.com/fun-stuff-paper-flowers/).
Big tip here – don't try and use recycled tissue paper – it won't hold its shape! Use new, crisp tissue paper :)
This totally just solved my idea block for a Alice in Wonderland shoot I'm doing in the spring. Just wondering if they are kind of reusable though.
Thanks for the tutorial! I made 30 for my daughters bday party and it turned out awesome!! Heres the final result!!

Homes evacuated again near NJ derailment
More than 70 people were treated at Underwood-Memorial Hospital, most complaining of breathing problems, burning eyes or scratchy throats, said spokeswoman Karen Urbaniak. She said 11 arrived by ambulance, and the rest walked in. More than 60 were discharged by late afternoon, and the handful that remained were in stable condition.
Residents of Paulsboro, West Deptford and East Greenwich Township were told to remain indoors early Friday before an all-clear was given. One resident walked through town Friday morning wearing a gas mask.
By late morning, state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Larry Hajna said that sensors were not detecting the chemical at the site.
Tom Butts, the chief of emergency management for Gloucester County, said it would take at least a day to get the large crane to the site to pick up the damaged cars. The recovery work was expected to take place only during daylight hours and it was not clear how long it would take.
The bridge usually supports at least three major trains each day serving refineries and other customers in an industrial area along the Delaware River. It was rebuilt after it buckled in August 2009 and when nine cars on a coal train detailed. Officials attributed that accident to bridge misalignment.
State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, whose district includes Paulsboro, said he had been told that complaints had been made in recent weeks about noise coming from the bridge and that Conrail was looking into it. But he said he didn't have any details.
At a news conference, Conrail spokesman John Enright said that the company is concerned with safety and cooperating with authorities, but he would not take any questions.
Early in the day, State Assemblyman John Burzichelli, a former mayor of Paulsboro who was serving as spokesman for the town, said he believed that it was a problem with the bridge that caused the accident. But he later backed off that, saying he did not know the cause.
The Federal Railroad Administration doesn't routinely inspect the structural safety of bridges owned by freight railroads, although it does inspect the tracks and can do an inspection if it receives a complaint or if track inspectors notice a problem. The agency last inspected the Paulsboro bridge in January 2010 and found no defects.
The railroads themselves are responsible by law for inspecting their own bridges. The FRA does not know when Conrail last did one.
The NTSB's Hersman says her agency will review bridge safety records and other details, including the mechanical systems on the train and the structural integrity of the bridge. She said inspectors will seek to interview crew on the train and to give them drug and alcohol tests.
Burzichelli said that as long as the bridge is out, factories and refineries in the area will have to rely on shipping materials by barge and truck.

Fed chief sees no sign of recession
Published: Thursday, March 29, 2007 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 29, 2007 at 12:00 a.m.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was asked Wednesday whether the economy will slip into recession in light of recent remarks by his predecessor, Alan Greenspan, that a recession is possible this year.
BERNANKE "We do not, but we do note that there are risks to the central forecast."
"I would make a point, I think, which is important, which is there seems to be a sense that expansions die of old age, that after they reach a certain point, then they naturally begin to end... I don't think the evidence really supports that."
If we look at history, we see that the periods of expansions have varied considerably. Some have been quite long."
GREENSPAN "When you get this far away from a recession, invariably forces build up for the next recession, and indeed we are beginning to see that sign."
But the good news for investors stops there.
Bernanke said Wednesday that Wall Street jumped too far last week in thinking that Fed policymakers had signaled interest rates might drop. That new comment sent stocks spiraling downward.
The Fed chief testified on Capitol Hill amid growing concerns that problems with risky mortgages and a painful housing slump could send the economy into a tailspin. Greenspan, who left the Fed last year, recently said there's a one-in-three possibility of a recession this year.
But Bernanke - while acknowledging there are risks - told Congress' Joint Economic Committee that the Fed does not see such negative forces pushing the economy into a recession.
Last week the Fed again held a key interest rate steady at 5.25 percent. But it dropped language contained in previous policy statements that had spoken only of the possibility of rate increases down the road.
The direction of rates hinges on what incoming barometers say about the economy and inflation, Bernanke said, echoing a point also made by his central bank colleagues last week.
Still, he said the Fed's predominant concern continues to be inflation.
Bernanke, meanwhile, stuck with the Fed's assessment that the economy is likely to grow at a moderate pace over the coming quarters. He also repeated the belief that inflation also should ease in the months ahead, but he warned that underlying inflation remains "uncomfortably high."
To be sure, Bernanke was careful to hedge the Fed's economic bets. The housing slump could turn out to be worse than expected, which could further dampen economic growth. A job market that is producing fatter paychecks could push up inflation.
But some lawmakers said the Fed should be open to cutting rates.
"Evidence of a slowing economy is building. And the concern is that the unemployment rate will begin to rise, if slow growth continues, which argues for easing rates," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, weighed in: "Another reason to be open to an easing of monetary policy is the concern that the housing market adjustment is far from over."
Bernanke said the growing troubles in the market for risky mortgages doesn't appear to be spreading to the overall economy. "At this juncture ... the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime markets seems likely to be contained," he said.
"Subprime" lenders who make home loans to people with blemished credit histories or low incomes have been battered. Weak home prices and rising interest rates have made it increasingly difficult for borrowers to keep up with their payments. Delinquencies and foreclosures in the subprime mortgage market are soaring. Bernanke told lawmakers he is open to working with them on ways to address problems with lenders and borrowers.

The victim was robbed of his laptop, mobile phone, credit card and other valuables kept in his room
A three-month-old friendship forged on a well-known social networking site cost a 40-year-old government doctor his laptop, cell phone and credit card, apart from knocking him out for more than a day.
Sources with the Korattur police said the victim who is a doctor with the Government Railway Hospital and resides in Villivakkam, befriended the man from Pune, online in March.
The men exchanged email IDs and phone numbers and conversed on a number of occasions.
Recently, the suspect told the doctor that he was coming to Chennai on work and wished to meet him. The doctor, who practises at a private hospital in Korattur in the evenings, lives in a rented house near the hospital.
He invited the suspect home after work, sources said. "The two met in Korattur on Sunday evening and went to the doctor's house later. They chatted for a while and consumed alcohol. After a while, the doctor fell unconscious," said an investigating officer with the Korattur police station. The doctor's drink had been spiked, he added.
The medical practitioner gained consciousness early on Tuesday only to realise that his laptop, mobile phone, credit card and other valuables kept in the room were missing, the officer said.
On Tuesday morning, he lodged a complaint with the Korattur police station. The police are expected to approach the cyber cell of the crime branch to track down the suspect with the email ID and contact details that the complainant had furnished.

It was a sad and mourning day for the Australians as famous jockey Nathan Berry was finally given his farewell in Grand Pavilion at Rosehill Gardens.
Thousands of Berry's supporters, friends and families gathered during this last tearful departure of the young icon.
Nathan Berry was provided a guard of honour and visitors wore blue to match with his favourite color.
Berry left the jockey world only at the age of 23 after suffering from Norse Syndrome. He was initially admitted to a hospital at Singapore after he suffered a collapse at the track-work in Kanji. He was later shifted to Australia on a medical chartered flight, but his condition worsened, followed by his untimely death.
"He has left a massive hole in my heart and it will never be filled...He gave me the best 23 years of my life and even though he is not beside me he will always look after me and guide me and be my best mate for life ... It has been a privilege to be your brother," a grief stricken Tommy Berry said of his sibling during the farewell.
Nathan's younger brother Tommy was unable to accept the shock as he always expected his brother to stand by his side at any time and race together.
"We would always sleep together on the bottom bunk and once mum and dad moved us to single beds, when the light went out we would get out and push the single beds together...We didn't want to be apart," Berry added.
Nathan's wife Whitney was sad with the unexpected loss of her husband and referred to him as a "compassionate, respectful and caring" man.
"I am the lucky one that got to marry him and have the best five years of my life," Whitney said.
She further added, despite such serious condition in bed at Singapore, Nathan was always concerned for her welfare and said everything would be fine and he will back to normal.
But things didn't go as Berry consoled his wife, and the nation has to bear this sad loss that nobody could comprehend.
