Flower-Wrapped Favors How-To
1. Fill a 3 5/8-inch-high acetate cylinder with candy.
2. To make flower, cut a 9-by- 30-inch piece of tissue paper. Fold, accordion style, in 5-inch-wide layers. Cut petals in smaller end; unfold and lay on flat surface.
3. Place cylinder on paper with bottom about 1 inch from uncut end, and roll; tape sides and bottom with double-sided tape. Tie ribbon above top of cylinder.
4. Gently peel petals down to open flower. If you use a shorter cylinder, reduce height of paper; for a multicolored blossom, wrap a second layer of paper around cylinder after first is secure; secure with ribbon.
I made a detailed step-by-step tutorial and a video on how to make tissue paper carnations. Have fun making them!
is there a video on how to make these? or something similar? i am having trouble making these
I picked up Wilton favor box cylinders at Michaels Crafts (in Canada) to do this with.
Another fun idea is the TickleMe Plant Party Favor I found on line. In it you can grow a real house plant that MoVes and closes its leaves when Tickled.

try also "poker chip storage cases" for the cylinders. You can get them without buying in bulk.

Very idea. Idea Ribbon like the great ideas by using color tissues and favor boxes
I'm not understanding how the bottom of the cylinder is formed to keep the candy inside. There would be 1" of tissue beyond the cylinder, so do you just fold it in?, use tape? what?

That other link in the comments for the cylinders didn't work, but I found them in here in all different sizes. This site sells tissue paper, too!

You can use a toilet paper roll. Or a paper towel roll. These work great!! So fun and not costly. Very pretty.
