We had two little girlie birthdays this month at our house so that meant some fun parties over the past couple of weeks.I have seen these cute tissue paper pom poms around blogland for awhile now and finally tried my hand at making some of them.
At Walmart and the Dollar Tree I found they sold tissue paper by the color so I spent 3 bucks and bought a pack of teal, hot pink, and white.
Then I followed the super easy tutorial by Martha Stewart.
Supplies (for one pom pom):
- 8 sheets of tissue paper
- 2 inches of floral wire
- ribbon to hang the pom poms by
- scissors
Directions:
1. Take 8 pieces of tissue paper stacked on top of one another and fold the entire thing accordion style.
2. Cut a 2 inch piece of floral wire and wrap it around the center.
3. Cut the edges of the tissue paper (either pointed or round).
4. Fan out paper to make a huge ball.
*Mine turned out a little too big for my liking but I was too lazy to go buy more tissue paper to make more. Next time to make them smaller I would cut some tissue paper off the ends after putting the floral wire on before fanning them out.
They've now found a permanent home in my kid's 'book nook' in the basement. Such a fun and inexpensive decorative touch!Have Fun!
