Pom Pom Tutorial

 

Pom Pom decorations are an easy, inexpensive way to decorate a space. You can do them in different colors and sizes to make a dynamic visual effect. Hang from the ceiling with fishing line or ribbon and you are DONE!!

So here is what you will need:

• Tissue paper is desired colors (approximately 8 sheets per pom-pom)
• Wire 
• Scissors

Now the steps:

Step 1: Stack 8 sheets of tissue.  Make 1 1/2-inch-wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold. 

Step 2: Fold a piece of wire in half and slip over center of the folder tissue. Twist. Trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes. 

Step 3: Seperate layers. Do one side at a time. Pull sheets toward center one at a time. 

Step 4: Pull sheets until you have desired effect. Pom-Pom Ball!!
